The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) described the incident at the Konstantinovka market as a confirmed case of a missile strike carried out by the Russian side using an S-300 anti-aircraft system. The report, cited by Ukrayinska Pravda, states that this assessment was made on September 6, 2023, after the attack on the civilian market area located in Konstantinovka.
This assertion was presented to clarify figures related to a New York Times article that suggested a Ukrainian missile had fallen on the same market. The SBU press service reaffirmed that the investigation would address what it characterizes as another war crime by the Russian Federation tied to the market bombing on that date.
Officials stressed that the attack struck a civilian facility and that the conclusion was supported by physical evidence recovered at the scene, including missile fragments identified during post-incident inspections.
Earlier coverage by The New York Times had explored the missile attack on the Konstantinovka market, with initial Ukrainian attribution to Russia. Journalists later obtained information indicating the missile originated from a Ukrainian Armed Forces unit. The reporting suggested the likelihood of an error within Ukraine’s air defense system contributing to the incident.
In a separate development, discussions between the United States and Ukraine continued regarding security guarantees for Kyiv, highlighting the broader international context in which these events are being assessed and responded to by partners and allies.
