Russian officials are attempting to deflect responsibility for the Okhmatdyt Children's Hospital strike by making false claims about the missiles involved — all contrary to available evidence.
The trajectory of the missile in the video and the visible turbojet engine under its hull match the frame of a Russian Kh-101 and do not support claims that it was an air defense interceptor, nor does the missile appear damaged by air defense interceptors.
