How Russia blames the US for strike on Crimea | DW News

The Pentagon flatly rejected Kremlin accusations that the US was responsible for a Sunday missile attack that reportedly killed four people, including two children, and injured some 150 more in the port city of Sevastopol on the Russian-occupied Crimean Peninsula.
Russia claimed that US-made ATACMS missiles fitted with cluster munitions were used in the attack. It laid part of the blame on Washington, saying the arms were programmed by the US using US targeting data.
But Pentagon spokesman Major Charlie Dietz rejected the claim, saying that "Ukraine makes its own targeting decisions and conducts its own military operations."
