Where the versions diverge

The Russian Defence Ministry speaks of hitting a missile assembly enterprise, Smart Munitions LLC, in Kyiv or Kyiv region; Ukrainian authorities report hits on non-residential areas and warehouses, two dead and an unexploded missile among residential buildings, and do not mention this company. The materials do not allow the ministry's claim to be matched to a specific impact site.
