@NRC_Egeland @antonioguterres @UN Shortly after the #SAA artillery strike on the al-Atareb hospital, rescue workers discovered remnants of the shells, which contained circuit boards -- this is an unusual detail that *could* indicate that the munitions were laser-guided & newly provided by #Russia. 
@NRC_Egeland @antonioguterres @UN #Russia has deployed 2K25 Krasnopol guided munitions from #Khmeymim AB, so we know they're in #Syria already -- but whether they're fired by #SAA is another matter.
Either way, it could also indicate the #Russia drone was acting as the laser designator -- marking the target.

@NRC_Egeland @antonioguterres @UN Just as rescue workers across #Syria did whatever they could to secure evidence of chemical weapons use, I'd argue these munition circuit boards *could* be vitally important evidence implicating #Russia in the prevision targeting of a UN-deconflicted hospital.
