Plenty of reports out there that suggest it was an errant Ukrainian ground to air missile that hit Dnipro. Can’t trust anything the Ukrainians say. Russia not any better don’t get me wrong

These anti air missiles do not vaporize their targets. It is possible that one had a near hit and moved the incoming missile off course.

But we may never know.
