On what news? The only press I've seen pushing this theory all day has been from Ukraine. CBC, CTV, Global, Reuters, all have other stories.

I have 640 am on in car and the host Kelly just broke that news, I do hope she didn’t just read something wrong. ?

she not going back to it or even giving an explanation, she was specific saying a Russian missile

now saying NOT confirmed ugh ! But likely, it was broken as a confirmation

The London-based firm IHS Markit said in a memo it assessed that

Quote:

Ukraine International Airlines Boeing 737-800 was “likely to have been shot down mistakenly by a IRGC-operated SA-15 missile”.

It could not confirm the authenticity of the images but said it assessed it to be credible.
