Russia says it bombed Ukrainian drones. Satellite image analysis suggests it only hit crop trucks.

"Russia's defense ministry said last week that it carried out a series of combined airstrikes with ballistic missiles and drones targeting a drone launch site and trucks carrying long-range drones in Ukraine's northern Chernihiv region. Moscow said the attack destroyed 20 trucks carrying 100 long-range drones and killed 60 Ukrainian soldiers, including drone operators, technicians, and truck drivers. It said strikes continued to target trucks along the highway as they drove from the airfield."

"The Center for Countering Disinformation, which is a part of the country's National Security and Defense Council, said the strikes damaged and destroyed trucks moving grain and killed a civilian driver. It cited information from the Chernihiv Regional Prosecutor's Office. The Center for Countering Disinformation said Russia's statement on the attack was "an attempt to justify yet another strike on civilian targets and to conceal the death of a civilian.""

"Russia published footage on October 1 showing the attack unfold. The video, captured in broad daylight by an aircraft, shows a road running through the middle of a field with dozens of large trucks parked along it. The footage then shows strikes on that site and other roadways. Ukraine's Center for Countering Disinformation said "the footage clearly shows civilian transport, with no 'drone trucks' or soldiers.""

Russia said combined airstrikes with ballistic missiles and drones hit a drone launch site and trucks carrying long-range drones in Chernihiv, claiming destruction of 20 trucks, 100 drones and 60 Ukrainian soldiers. Ukrainian authorities said the strikes damaged and destroyed trucks transporting grain and killed a civilian driver, citing the Chernihiv regional prosecutor. Satellite imagery analysis and investigators noted the footage shows civilian transport, not military vehicles. Published aerial video shows dozens of large trucks parked along a road through a field and subsequent strikes on that location and other roadways.
