Video making rounds on #Russian media of #HIMARS missile parts at location where #Ukrainian POWs from #Mariupol were held.

Both sides have blamed the other for the hit on the POW camp today.

Keep in mind that by now Russians should have plenty of missile parts collected.

Here @rianru uses photo of the same set of #HIMARS debris to report on a strike on a railroad in #Zaporizhzhia region:

I would not be surprised if Russians are driving these around for media opportunities.

At minimum Russian media is using the same video/photo to report different events.

If they had swung the camera around to show surroundings, we could verify their claims.

For those asking for the RIA link on the railway strike:

(Remember, this site is likely restricted in many western nations. While the headline photo is labeled “archive” on the website many will not see that.)

And for those asking for the link to the video I used, it is from Sputnik’s Telegram:

Little side note: I have little doubt some of the parts displayed are #HIMARS M31 components.

My question is “where did they originate?”

The back and forth today is:

-Ukraine fired on the POW camp

-Russia fired on the camp and their investigators planted these parts

Another interesting note is that according to this Zvezda News interview, only Ukrainian POWs were hurt and killed—no Russians or Russian-backed separatists were hurt.
