Trush said that civilian objects came under attack.
He said during the second air raid alert of the night, at about 5 a.m., cruise missiles had been detected approaching the region.
The mayor of Ternopil, Serhiy Nadal, confirmed that the enemy had attacked the city, with civilian buildings and cars being damaged – probably by fragments of missiles that were shot down by air defenses.
The Russian attack resulted in the destruction of two private houses, and damage to another 12. A fire broke out at one attack site, but it was immediately extinguished. Missile fragments also damaged civilian commercial and business facilities and nine trucks.
There were no reports of any injuries. Emergency crews were working at the scene.
Ternopil had already suffered a missile attack from Russia on the evening of May 13, when an enemy missile hit a warehouse in the city's industrial zone.
Two people were injured and hospitalized as a result of the impact.
