I'm pretty sure Ukraine said those were their missiles.
Indeed they were. Ukrainian S-300 missiles, they probably malfunctioned and went off in a random direction.
I'm going off the deep end a bit here, but reports started off with two missiles. I thought it must have been a Ukrainian AA missile chasing a Russian cruise missile, with the Russian missile responsible for the deaths.
Then news suddenly shut up about the second missile, and started selling it as one Ukrainian missile.
I wouldn't be surprised it was covered up so NATO didn't get tested.
