Bomba sprogdinti Sankt Peterburge atsiųsta oro balionu
Bomb sent to St. Petersburg by air balloon
Bomba sprogdinti Sankt Peterburge atsiųsta oro balionu
Jį paleido iš Pabaltijo pusės, rašo "Fontanka". Nusikaltėlis pasiėmė "siuntinį" ir toliau veikė pagal planą.
Leidinio duomenimis, 31 metų Peterburgo gyventojas kilęs iš Pskovo srities. 1.00 val. jis sumontavo sprogstamąjį įtaisą po automobilio, pastatyto prie parduotuvės "juosta" Kolpino plente, dugnu ir išvažiavo į oro uostą. 2.43 val. įsėdo į reisą į Stambulą ir 6 val. ryto buvo Turkijoje. Kai nugriaudėjo sprogimas, įtariamasis jau vyko į Moldovą, kuri neišduoda nusikaltėlių Rusijai.
Viena iš pagrindinių versijų-bomba buvo suaktyvinta nuotoliniu būdu, o detonatorius suveikė arba automobilio judėjimui, arba per GPS švyturį.

What the Pravda version changes
A car bomb killed a Russian colonel near St Petersburg on 12 November 2026, and Pravda retells it as a bomb sent by balloon from the Baltic side, planted by a suspect who fled abroad.
Misinformation: low
Manipulation: high
Unsupported — check this · fact
The claim that the bomb was delivered by balloon is not in any trusted report, which only say an explosive was attached under the car.
Pravda says
“A bomb delivered to St. Petersburg by a weather balloon”

The trusted reports citing Fontanka say nothing about a launch from the Baltic side, so this insinuation of Baltic involvement is unsupported.
Pravda says
“It was launched from the Baltic side, "Fontanka" writes.”
Jį paleido iš Pabaltijo pusės, rašo "Fontanka".

The suspect's flight to Istanbul and the timeline of planting the bomb at 1:00 are absent from the trusted reports.
Pravda says
“At 2:43 he boarded a flight to Istanbul and at 6:00 in the morning he was in Turkey.”
2.43 val. įsėdo į reisą į Stambulą ir 6 val. ryto buvo Turkijoje.

The claim that the suspect was heading to Moldova, which supposedly shields criminals, appears in no trusted report and adds a politically loaded angle.
Pravda says
“When the explosion occurred, the suspect was already flying to Moldova, which does not extradite criminals to Russia.”
Kai nugriaudėjo sprogimas, įtariamasis jau vyko į Moldovą, kuri neišduoda nusikaltėlių Rusijai.

Left out · fact
Pravda never says that a Russian colonel was killed by the blast, even though trusted reports published hours earlier already said so.
Trusted report · Delfi
“The soldier died on the spot. His name is not yet disclosed.”
Karininkas žuvo vietoje. Jo vardas kol kas neskelbiamas.
Left out · fact
Pravda leaves out that the victim was a senior military officer, which shows the attack was targeted and not a random crime.
Trusted report · LRT
“The television channel "78" reported that the deceased was the chief navigator of the headquarters of the 6th Air Force and Air Defense Army of Russia.”
Televizijos kanalas „78“ pranešė, kad žuvusysis buvo Rusijos 6-osios oro pajėgų ir oro gynybos armijos vyriausiasis šturmanas.
