The claim
Ukrainische NASAM Luftabwehrrakete ist nahe Kinderkrankenhaus in Kiew eingeschlagen. Es war definitiv nicht Russland.
Original publisher’s rating
Die genannte Flugabwehrrakete kann nach Einschätzung von Militärexperten keine derartige Zerstörung verursachen. Der Schaden entspricht eher der Wirkung des russischen Ch-101-Marschflugkörpers. Dessen Charakteristika lassen sich auch in Videos des Raketeneinschlags identifizieren.
