I would particularly advice against trusting videos circulating on Twitter as a source for anything at all in this conflict. It seems to be a complete mess.
The best thing to do is probably to wait for experts to do their job, and for reputable news outlets to report on it.
Until then, keep in mind that we’re in a position where both explanations are plausible. Both sides are targeting civilians. Who is to blame for this specific attack doesn’t change the fact that both parties to the conflict are awful, and that civilians pay the cost.
I mean, one side targets civilians and sees civilian casualties as achievements. Another side targets military infrastructure located inside civilian territory, and sees civilian casualties as collateral damage. Saying both sides are the same is either ignorance, or malicious misinformation.

I’m sure the victims and their families will be pleased to hear that they were just collateral damage!
