Social media spread information that the BBC allegedly showed footage confirming that a Ukrainian Tochka-U fell on Kramatorsk. It reportedly had a Ukrainian serial number and was in service with the Ukrainian army.

However, this is fake footage.

The BBC denied having anything to do with the video. The video was made and disseminated by third parties using BBC News branding.

We earlier wrote that Ukraine did not bombard the railway station in Kramatorsk. The missile’s serial number does not make it possible to determine which country launched it.
