No, just no. Not only do you not need Bellingcat to tell you it was a ru Kh-101 missile that hit the hospital: parts of that org demonstrate russophilia and bad faith towards respected Ukrainian orgs like @InformNapalm whom they stole from.
Here's what impeccable Ukrainian OSINT looks like:

"A russian X-101 cruise missile was targeted from a Tu-95MS at the Okhmatdyt children's hospital.
It is worth reminding that the crews of at least 8 russian Tu-95MS are known(informnapalm.org/ua/hto-bombyt-…) to have committed war crimes in the shelling of civilian targets in both Ukraine and Syria. However, they have not yet been punished for these actions, and impunity gives war criminals a sense of untouchability.
If at least 3-4 pilots of these crews were physically targeted on the territory of russia, it would not lead to escalation, but rather would force the perpetrators of war crimes to refuse to carry out criminal orders.
This should be a matter of honor not only for the Ukrainian intelligence services, but also for the intelligence services of all countries threatened by russia. When russia was bombing schools and hospitals in Syria, we warned that russians were training to kill civilians and that Ukrainians could be the next victims of attacks. Now that russian pilots are killing Ukrainian children, it's time for NATO countries to think about what they should do: destroy the planes and pilots on russian territory."
Platforming Bellingcat with its spotty track record on subjects related to russia and Ukraine not only positions them to do more harm, but also bypasses reliable, high-quality Ukrainian sources.
Follow @InformNapalm instead.

There's aging like milk, and then there's Bellingcat's Aric Toler casting shade on Ukraine's @InformNapalm for documenting ru pilots who bomb Syria. That's directly relevant to who you make your source about russia's heinous crime at Okhmatdyt hospital.
@InformNapalm @AndriiKatriuk's thoughts on Bellingcat reflect what a lot of Ukrainians see here: Kremlin talking points drowning out serious stories.
