The New York Times: Evidence Suggests Ukrainian Missile Caused Market Tragedy
The Sept. 6 missile strike on Kostiantynivka in eastern Ukraine was one of the deadliest in the country in months, killing at least 15 civilians and injuring more than 30 others. The weapon’s payload of metal fragments struck a market, piercing windows and walls and wounding some victims beyond recognition.
Less than two hours later, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy blamed Russian “terrorists” for the attack, and many media outlets followed suit. Throughout its invasion of Ukraine, Russia has repeatedly and systematically attacked civilians and struck schools, markets and residences as a deliberate tactic to instill fear in the populace. In Kostiantynivka in April, soldiers shelled homes and a preschool, killing six.
But evidence collected and analyzed by The New York Times, including missile fragments, satellite imagery, witness accounts and social media posts, strongly suggests the catastrophic strike was the result of an errant Ukrainian air defense missile fired by a Buk launch system.

WNU Editor: The New York Times is late on making this report. Bloggers following the Ukraine war came to the same conclusions a few days after the September 6 missile strike (i.e. Lord Bedo, Sprinter, and Victop55.
Everyone I know in Ukraine are scared of Russian missile and drone strikes. But not reported in the West is that they are also afraid of Ukraine's anti-air systems and what happens when they miss their target.
Update: To no one' surprise Ukraine is furious with this New York Times report .... Ukraine hits back at NYT report it accidentally bombed its own market (Politico).

Short round. It happens. Russia has hit enough civilian buildings that it was a good guess.
Have heard that the Ukrainians knew and blamed the Russians to get more support (Gateway Pundit, which is hated by all good socialist fearing liberals). Don't care. Like I said the Russian have targeted enough civilian buildings throughout the war, that I just don't fucking care, if this time it wasn't the orks.
Time to end Russia.
"they are also afraid of Ukraine's anti-air systems and what happens when they miss their target."
It has always been that way. During WW2 when they used Flak to shoot at bombers where did the shells or shell debris go?
Outer space.
We were regaled last spring to tales of woe by WNU and others of Ukraine running out of reloads for their missile Air defense. We were told that the Patriot batteries would run out unless the Russia did not destroy them first with their sooper dooper Kinshal missiles.
Given the aforementioned fact, Ukraine is not going to shoot off air defense missiles willy nilly, they are only going to shoot, when there is Russian incoming.
Ergo, it is Russia' fault.
Let's Go Russia (LGR)
Zero Hedge, an anon operation but clearly right of center says it is "rare" for NY Times to do an about-face, ie, admit a mistake and correct it. That is nonsense. That paper does it consistently when it errs.I refer to news and not opinion pieces.
The owner operator of Zerohedge is well known. He is the son of a Soviet era Bulgarian spy. I read it anyway. I have an in law, who was a communist party member. There is only one family member you can ever choose.
Do not like Zerohedge because they carry Simon black and the Strategic Culture Organization which is a Moscow think tank or influence operation.
The owner got rid of Simon Black (fraud in Singapore or Hong Kong) and the brought him back in spite of being panned by the readership. Black and SCO is just an overload of bullshit.
All a bunch of bullshit. this was wrong and then the west propagandized it. The Ukie idiots who did this,................................... IF it was intentional, are criminals.
Note that before the Russian no fault was discovered, the lying Ukies went berserk with accusations and denouncements. And some of you sheeple blurbed it right along with it
Now you turn around and still defend the Ukies? Where is your call now for Justice and criminal investigation?.
Using your logic the ukies could roast kids on a fire and it would be the Russians fault.
Moral midgets
If you want to be a hypocrite and say "you dont care". Then be a hypocrite. But dont come back here and tell us in 3 weeks that the Russians did, x y or z.
and who ever owns zero hedge is not the point. That is a ad hominem attack and bullshit.
I just finished reading about the mass deportations of people from the Baltic states. About half the people put on the cattle cars never made it. Got to make room for ethnic Russians though, right?
Some things never change.
Amazing how you tards can spew so much vitriol towards conservatives for shit like this but just so easily brush it off when your own kind lies to the world to garner support for more war and destruction. You are not a decent human being by any standard.
