TL;DR Summary

Evidence suggests that the deadly explosion at a market in Kostiantynivka, Ukraine, was caused by an errant Ukrainian air defense missile fired by a Buk launch system, according to The New York Times. The report cites missile fragments, satellite imagery, witness accounts, and social media posts as evidence. Security camera footage shows the missile coming from Ukrainian-held territory, not from behind Russian lines. The Ukrainian military had also launched two surface-to-air missiles towards the Russian front line from a nearby town minutes before the blast. The incident is currently under investigation by Ukraine's security service.
