Описание: This footage shows Ukrainian air defence systems shooting down incoming Russian cruise missiles aimed at critical civilian infrastructure.

The air defence systems can be seen firing intercept missiles at the Russian cruise missiles, which can be seen exploding as they are hit in mid-air.

The images were obtained from Air Force Command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on Monday, 12th September, along with a statement saying: "As we reported on 11th September, around 8:30 p.m., the occupiers launched missile attacks on the territory of Ukraine. The targets of the missiles were precisely the critical infrastructure of our state.

"The video shows the combat operation of the S-300PT anti-aircraft missile systems of servicemen of the East Air Command. Great result! Let's beat the enemy together! Together - to victory!"
