Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky taunted Russians after a top aide claimed what appeared to be a missile fragment fell near the presidential residence in Kyiv

Press secretary Sergii Nykyforov posted on Facebook on Friday that an apparent piece of a missile was found near the presidential residence in Koncha Zaspa, Kyiv.

Zelensky responded: "Missed."

Nykyforov's post didn't include photos of any other pieces of the purported missile, or of a point of impact.

Russian forces invaded Ukraine on February 24, but their progress has been slowed by logistical setbacks and fierce Ukrainian resistance. 

Since the initial attack, Russia has claimed just one major city: Kherson. Ukrainian officials and human rights groups have accused Russia of war crimes, alleging Putin's forces are bombarding civilian populations.
