In this photo of the aftermath of the fire, the walls are still standing, and most of the roof remains intact. Experts say the HIMARS impact will cause more damage.
The Russian version of the terrorist attack on the Yelenovka prison, based on the accusation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine of hitting HIMARS missiles, is a fabrication. This was stated in the investigation of CNN television and radio companies, based on the analysis of videos and photos from the scene of the tragedy, satellite images before and after the explosion, expert reviews of forensic experts and weapons experts.
There are no concrete conclusions yet, but experts are confidently ruling out the use of HIMARS.
Photos of the aftermath of the fire show that the walls are still standing, and much of the roof remains intact. Experts say the HIMARS impact will cause more damage.
On the morning after the attack, a spokesman for the pro-Kremlin TV channel Zvezda pointed to the orderly placement of the fragments, one of which had the serial number of a HIMARS missile, and General Konashenkov, spokesman for the Russian Defense Ministry, also supported the strike version with this missile. But several weapons experts told CNN that the photos and videos from Olenevka do not match the HIMARS attack, arguing that a building with such thin walls and a metal roof would never have survived the such a strike from such an MLRS, and the number of missiles in such a fire will not survive exactly.
“In these videos, there is no crater anywhere, the beds are not pushed back, the columns are not damaged, but massive fire damage is visible. If this is a guided multiple launch rocket system, you will see the crater, a broken ceiling and wall, body after the explosion,” he said. CNN weapons specialist.
US officials also rejected the use version of HIMARS. Experts point to a fire from inside the building, and not an explosion due to external influences.
Recall, “DNR” stated that during the shelling of the colony in Yelenovka, 47 people died, 75 were injured, including eight guards.
In this regard, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that the armed forces of the Russian Federation carried out targeted deliberate shelling of the correctional institution in Yelenovka, and the statements about the alleged’ y shelling from the Ukrainian side is a blatant lie and a provocation.
It was also reported that the Main Intelligence Directorate saw no reason to trust the Russian Federation’s lists of victims in Yelenovka.
