The BBC has warned that a video carrying its branding in which it is claimed that a missile attack on a railway station that killed dozens of people was carried out by Ukraine is fake. The video, mocked up with a BBC News logo and using similar graphics to the broadcaster, gives the false impression that it has confirmed that Ukrainian armed forces were behind the attack on Kramatorsk railway station on Friday. The clip had been aired on Russian state television and spread across social media, and appeared to have originated among pro-Kremlin accounts on Telegram, the BBC said. No such video had been produced by the BBC, it said, adding that it had not yet been possible to verify the source of the missile. The BBC press office said: “The BBC is taking action to have the video removed. We urge people not to share it and to check stories on the BBC News website.”
