I urge you: if you come across such a ‘finding’, do not approach it, let alone touch it. The wreckage can be deadly. In such cases, call the police immediately at 102."

Details: Earlier, Kozytskyi reported that air defence forces shot down one missile in Stryi district, with no casualties or damage to facilities.
