A missile was filmed soaring across the sky before slamming into an airport in Ukraine as Russia's air assault of the country intensifies.
Footage taken from a vantage point close to Ivano-Frankivsk airport shows the projectile streaking across the grey sky before exploding in a plume of fire on an already smoking building.
The building bursts into flames before a large cloud of dark smoke rises over the central Ukranian city.
Cruise missiles, guided bombs and GRAD rockets have taken out targets in cities across Ukraine.
They have been aimed at airfields, military bases, ammo caches and command posts, but have also hit a least one civilian apartment block.

One particularly graphic piece of CCTV footage shows a cyclist being blown off her bike by a shell in the Cherkassy region in central Ukraine.
A photo later emerged of a woman lying dead beneath a blanket, blood trickling out from its sides onto the streets below.
The Russians appear to be making attempts to control the skies above Ukraine by taking out airports, among them Chuguyev airport near Kharkiv in the country's east.
Airspace above Ukraine was shut down overnight, leading carriers including Ryanair and WhizzAir to halt services in and out of the country.
Ukraine claimed that six Russian jets were shot out of the sky over the eastern Donbass region.
Kyiv said that 50 Russian troops were killed in the attack.
Russian strikes on airports do not appear to have been entirely successful, with an apartment block close to a runway in Chuhuiv in the north east seemingly hit by mistake.
It was completely gutted by the blast which knocked out all the windows and tore down its balconies.
Overnight deep thuds were heard in cities including Kharkiv, Ukraine's second largest city which sits on the eastern border.
Footage reportedly taken in Hostomel, close to Kyiv, shows at least eight attack helicopters flying close to the ground as smoke rising around them.
Missiles can be seen being fired off them into the ground below.
Ukrainian officials said a Russian helicopter landing attempt was under way at the Hostomel military airport just outside Kyiv at around 11.30am GMT.
Separate footage shows explosions hitting Svatove, a city in the east of Ukraine. Reports said the missiles had hit 'near' a warehouse storing Ukrainian army equipment.
In addition to the air assault, ground forces have rolled in from Belarus, Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk.
The attacks overnight has led Kyiv to declare a state of emergency across the country and to urge citizens to donate blood.
Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov on Thursday said that anyone who is ready and able to hold a weapon can join the ranks of the territorial defence forces, as the police said they would distribute weapons to veterans.
Dmytro Kuleba, minister of Foreign Affairs for Ukraine, condemned the strikes early this morning.
"Putin has just launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine," he tweeted.
"Peaceful Ukrainian cities are under strikes. This is a war of aggression.
"Ukraine will defend itself and will win. The world can and must stop Putin. The time to act is now."
