Russia’s defence ministry said the strike had targeted the Bryansk region bordering Ukraine to the north on Tuesday morning.
It said five missiles had been shot down and one had caused damage – with its fragments starting a fire at a military facility.
But two U.S. officials said initial indications suggested Russia had intercepted just two missiles out of around eight fired by Ukraine, according to the BBC.
