MOSCOW, June 23 (Reuters) - Russia said on Sunday that the United States was responsible for a Ukrainian attack on the Russian-annexed Crimean peninsula with five U.S.-supplied missiles that killed at least five people including three children and injured 124 more.
The Russian Defence Ministry said four of the U.S.-delivered Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missiles, equipped with cluster warheads, were shot down by air defence systems and the ammunition of a fifth had detonated in mid-air.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Russian forces went out to the beach after the attack and bombed it themselves, just so they could get this story
Seems a lot more plausible than them shooting down 4 missiles, def on-brand too
Putin has a history of false flag operations, so it isn’t impossible.
