The authority reminded the community to obtain information from official sources and to avoid spreading misinformation.
In earlier updates, the National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA) urged residents to exercise caution if they find fallen debris.
"For your safety, do not approach, touch or photograph any debris or objects that have fallen as a result of successful air interceptions, and allow the relevant authorities to access the situation," it said, adding that "while some objects may appear harmless, interacting with them may pose safety risks".
The authority urged the public to report the location of the fallen debris by calling 999.
