  • Social media posts claim US broadcaster ABC misrepresented a video of a 2018 gas explosion in Russia as footage from the war in Ukraine. This is false; the clip was shot in Ukraine by a Turkish news agency, and a similar video from AFP confirms that the incident took place following Russia's 2022 invasion of its eastern European neighbor. These Pictures are from a Gas explosion in 2018, says a February 24, 2022 tweet responding to a video posted by ABC that shows firefighters attempting to extinguish a burning building. Screenshot of a tweet taken on March 1, 2022 The same claim -- which spread online after Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24 -- also appeared on Facebook . ABC -- which declined to comment on the situation -- attributed the video to Turkish news agency Anadolu, which also tweeted the footage directly on its verified Twitter account , locating it in Chuhuiv, Ukraine. AFP also filmed the same burning building in Chuguev -- a city whose name can be transliterated with different spellings -- providing further confirmation that the incident took place in Ukraine in 2022. While posts on social media claim the Anadolu footage tweeted by ABC shows a gas explosion, comparisons of images from the 2018 blast in the city of Magnitogorsk (left) and footage of the burning building (right) make clear that they were two distinct events.
