Emerging story
Recently, social media users circulated a video clip purporting to show the moment Russian self-propelled artillery shelled Ukraine.
Misbar’s Analysis
The circulating claim was found to be misleading by Misbar's team, as the video clip is old and was published by Russian media on December 10, 2021. Initially, the video showed a Soviet self-propelled 203mm heavy artillery test in Kemerovo, Russia.
Russian media reported that the Russian armed forces used 203-caliber self-propelled guns of ‘Malka’ during their military operations in Ukraine.
The allegation began to circulate amid Russia's ongoing war on Ukraine, which began on February 24.
