Ukrainian Missile Mishap: Market Struck, Russia Exonerated

A New York Times analysis suggests that a missile strike in Kostyantynivka, Ukraine, which killed at least 15 people, was likely caused by a misfired Ukrainian air defense missile rather than a Russian attack, contradicting Kyiv's initial blame on Russia. Evidence including missile fragments, satellite imagery, witness accounts, and social media posts point to the incident being a tragic Ukrainian error. Problems with the missile's guidance systems or tail fin could have caused it to go off course. The Ukrainian defense ministry is currently investigating the incident.
