Fact is they killed 35 civilians, including old and children, with what it seems Cluster munition.
If the award was the reason for the attack or just nicely plays into russian narrative, we don't know. Willingly accepting such civilian casualties speak for itself thought.
There is a video of the moment of impact on social media, it’s an Iskander ballistic missile, no cluster munitions.
Aftermath videos show many bodies in military uniforms and destroyed military jeeps with triangle sign (Kursk operation).
Ukranian politicians are openly admitting it was a military event that got hit.
Many military obituaries on social media.
It’s a shame Ukranians brought kids and innocent civilians to a military event and had this event in the middle of a city during the day with many innocent bystanders becoming collateral damage.
Reminds of me of tactics terrorists use to hide behind kids and women hoping to avoid a precision strike.
PS: Volodymyr Artyukh was just removed from his post for greenlighting this event (and not covering up / allowing to leak military casualties).
