There is evidence that the #attack on the #market in #Donetsk on Jan. 21, 2024 was a Russian false flag.
Time between sounds of rounds being fired and their impact indicates max distance of weapon of 4km. Front line shown in red: Weapon was fired in Russian-held territory.

Crater evidence indicates weapon used was a mortar. If it had been fired by UA forces, the mortar team would have had to have snuck 10 km into Russian-held territory, during daylight, fired, and then escaped back through the front line, without being captured.
This is unlikely.
This is unlikely.
Big problem with this occurred to me: Given that artillery or mortar shells travel at multiple times the speed of sound, if a shell lands nearby you're going to hear the impact explosion BEFORE, you hear the sound of the round being fired, if it's kms away. Not what video shows.
Crater from incoming shell that hit near the market - it looks very much like a mortar round crater. A 155mm shell would have dug a much bigger hole.
This looks more like a mortar attack than an artillery attack to me, going by the images of craters. Given their range, the weapons would still have had to have been fired inside Russian-held territory - the front line is too far away for them to have been fired from UA positions
Correction: Mortar shells don’t travel at supersonic speeds.
