Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) says it can prove that a August 20 report on Zvezda TV station run by Russia's Defense Ministry, which claimed to show a Tochka-U missile strike, was actually old footage of a failed Russian Proton-M satellite launch in Kazakhstan.
"The Ukrainian Army struck Makiyivka with a Tochka-U rocket," causing "destruction to the city," says the Zvezda TV host as video of a flying object falling and exploding just beyond a high-rise plays in the background.
NSDC has produced a video rebuttal, which it says shows clearly that the Zvezda material is actually taken from the failed July 2013 launch in Kazakhstan of a $200 million Russian Proton-M rocket.
