Initially, pro-Russian separatists took responsibility for this incident, which they thought was a successful destruction of the Ukrainian roadblock.
After the information about civilian bus hit the news, they denied having “even technical possibilities” to shell that area. (obvious bullshit)
OSCE Special Monitoring Mission inspecting the place of incident assessed from its study of five craters that they were caused by “rockets fired from a north-north-eastern direction” (Russian border/Donbas)
Grad fire on an unobserved but legitimate target with shit timing.
Tragic, but unfortunately I think the worst is yet to come.
