VOLNOVAKHA : MISSILE OR CLAYMORE?

Something happened at a checkpoint at Volnovakha yesterday: Kiev claims it was attacked by missiles; others suggest a Claymore. Either 10 or 11 people died as a result.

The Kievists have jumped on a video taken immediately after the event to claim that it was a missile. The video shows a small missile in the ground. But when was that fired? In the video it is partly covered in branches.

But others have pointed out the following:
1. the road at the checkpoint was lined with Claymores, and in the video you can see several men in uniform handling them, so something related to Claymores was probably going on at that time;
2. on the steps inside the bus where the passengers board and alight there appears to be a small bright cylinder that could come from a Claymore.

I am not jumping to conclusions on this. Autopsies of the dead will reveal how they died, and what shrapnel was removed from their bodies.

But this sad event, either deliberate or accident, has been jumped on by Kiev and their allies.
