The video of the fire in the Chernihiv Epicenter Hypermarket currently circulates on Facebook. The descriptions allege that the cause of the fire was two shells fired by Ukrainian armed forces.
However, in the real world, the fire started because of the intense shelling of the russian invaders.
According to the National Emergency Service, as of 28.02 12:00, russian invaders were shelling Belova, Rokosovskogo, Dotsenka, and Pukhova streets for 20 minutes. As a result, a fire broke out near the Epicenter Hypermarket.
