An analysis of open source evidence, as well as missile experts, have pointed to a Russian launched Kh-101 cruise missile being the weapon that struck a children’s hospital in Kyiv.
Do you know who claimed they had explosive belts? I don’t because the Wikipedia article doesn’t source it.
And if you read the citation for the claim just after that, you will see that supposedly many terrorists- the ones supposedly wearing explosive belts- escaped rather than blew themselves up.
That sort of cognitive dissonance couldn’t possibly be put out by the otherwise totally honest Russian media which is definitely not a political mouthpiece for their dictator, a man who gassed a theater full of innocent hostages but definitely did not blow up a school full of innocent hostages.
In two of three final reports there are bombs worn or placed by the attackers. In two of the reports the final assault was started by government personell (either directly, letting it look like the hostage takers started it, or by killing the guy on a dead man’s switch). In one report it was classified as a suicide attack from the start.
The dead man’s switch was confirmed by one of the surviving attackers. He also was the one speaking of a dispute between the attackers concerning the target building (school vs. police station).
