About 30 people killed, 100 wounded in missile strike on Kramatorsk rail station
Tass ^ | April 8, 2022

Posted on 04/09/2022 10:26:59 AM PDT by Navy Patriot

At least 30 people were killed and around 100 other civilians were wounded after a Tochka-U missile hit the railway station in Kiev-controlled Kramatorsk on Friday. The Ukrainian side claimed that Russian troops were complicit in the missile strike. However, Tochka-U tactical missile systems are not operational either in Russia or in the Donbass republics.

...

Fragments of a Tochka-U tactical missile were found at the scene.

...

Tochka-U tactical missile systems are actively used by the Ukrainian armed forces but are not operational in Russia or the Donbass republics. The Russian Defense Ministry highlighted that the photos from the Russia-Belarus Union Resolve 2022 military exercises being spread by Kiev show the hardware that does not belong to Russia.

...

On March 14, a similar Tochka-U missile hit the center of Donetsk, killing 17 and wounding 36 other civilians.

“Tochka-U tactical missile systems are actively used by the Ukrainian armed forces but are not operational in Russia or the Donbass republics.”

False. The old Tochka missiles were re-activated and deployed by Russian forces specifically for the Ukraine invasion. Russian propaganda.

The standard stream of Russian disinfo:

1) The attack didn’t happen!
2) Okay it did happen but it wasn’t us!
3) Okay it was us, but it was a valid military target!
4) Okay it was all civilians, but those civilians were Nazies!

In this case they have retreated to 2. Soon 3 will show up as the Russians boasted about suing these rockets only a few weeks ago:

Serial number of Tochka missile is 91579.

There are four more missiles from the same series, all used by a Ukranian unit, 91565 and 91566 were used against Donbass in 2015, and 915611 and 915516 against Berdyansk and Melitopol recently.

Why on earth would the Ukrainians bomb their own battlefield railhead in a combat situation? Putinism is clearly a mental illness.

False flag operation by Kiev designed to murder civilians.

One of many.

The Nazi way.

Is this report real, or just propaganda? Who knows - but one thing's for sure, there's a bunch of propaganda out there...

...24 hours a day, seven days a week, 100% of the time...

“Belarusian Hajun project

A column of Russian equipment with ā€œVā€ marks was moving from Rechitsa towards Gomel along the M10 highway.
There were at least 8 Tochka-U, several BTR-82a, about 9 KamAZ trucks, some of which are carrying Tochka-U missiles, communication vehicle and a crane.”

There's lots of obvious propaganda from the Ukraine side of things, also - to the point that I don't believe sources in Ukraine, either...
