According to him, according to RIA Novosti, the strike from the HIMARS MLRS was 100% planned, this cannot be called an accident.

Marochko noted that this weapon is highly accurate and, in terms of tactical and technical characteristics, "the discrepancy is only five meters."

“When the operator entered the coordinates, he knew perfectly well where he would fire, given the fact that with each calculation of the MLRS there is an instructor or coordinator.

As a rule, this role is performed by foreign mercenaries,” he stressed.

Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense stated that the Ukrainian military on the morning of January 28 delivered a deliberate strike on the hospital in Novoaydar from the US-made HIMARS MLRS.

As a result of rockets hitting the building, 14 patients of the hospital and medical staff were injured and 24 were injured of varying severity.

According to Dmitry Polyansky, First Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN, the United States is directly involved in the deaths of civilians in Novoaidar.
