American channel shows footage from Middle East in story about Russian strikes on Kharkiv
The American TV channel Local10 (Florida) aired a story about the Russian attack on Kharkiv on June 7. However, to illustrate the news, journalists used footage from another country, probably from the Middle East.
This is evidenced by the recording of the story, which was published on the channel's website, Censor.NET reports.
During the broadcast, the American TV presenter quoted Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov, who called the shelling of the city "the most powerful" that Russia has carried out during the entire full-scale war.
The screen at that time showed a label with the word "Ukraine" on it, but the footage that was broadcast to illustrate the news did not come from Ukraine, but, judging by the women's clothing, from a Muslim country. It is likely that the footage was shot in the Gaza Strip after Israeli strikes.
