Fake claim about the target of the missile strike on the Druzhba hotel
Enemy Telegram channels are spreading claims that the Druzhba hotel in Kryvyi Rih was targeted in a missile strike due to the alleged presence of foreign mercenaries and Ukrainian officers.
In reality, this is yet another attempt to justify a terrorist attack against civilians. russian propaganda routinely tries to excuse strikes on civilian infrastructure by fabricating stories about “legitimate targets.”
As of 11:00 AM, the attack on Kryvyi Rih has resulted in one fatality and 14 injuries.
Another common propaganda tactic is to falsely blame Ukrainian air defense for missile debris allegedly falling on residential buildings and other civilian infrastructure.
Since the beginning of the month, occupiers have targeted a hotel in Kryvyi Rih for the second time, despite it being a location for civilians.
