Russia's defence ministry officially said they were reponsible for the attack, saying that they hit a weapons depot in a nearby factory and that the detonation of munitions caused the fire to spread to the shopping centre.[5] On June 29, the United Kingdom's Defence ministry said that it is possible that the missile was not aimed at the mall, but that is was intended to hit a nearby infrastructure target.[6] Russian media and officials carried conflicting stories about the attack.[7] Those claims were found to be false by multiple organizations.[7][8][9]
