Due to the recent punitive increase in the cost of posting links to this platform via 3rd-party tools, we will be temporarily posting featured fact checks without links to the original articles.

We regret this departure from best practices, and apologize as we seek a solution.

A Russian "attack" that never happened:

Viral posts speculating about the destruction of that facility provided no source for the claim.
