The bomb resembles the FAB-500 bombs regularly employed by the Russian air force. They weigh about 500kg each. Amnesty International said that it had seen evidence of FAB-500s being used on the city.

More on the FAB-500:

Different nose, but otherwise, looks consistent.
Our big problem here has been people posting videos and stills from other wars, video games, and Hollywood movies and claiming they are real.
Those are fake af, but this one looks real unless somehow they acquired a Russian bomb to stage this one in California.
That FAB-500s are in use over Ukraine appears uncontested.

Yep, but it looks like a Russian bomb, and there may be other reasons for that. I'm going to call bullshit here and say that this is most likely a Russian bomb being field defused by a couple dudes taking a substantial risk.

Probably right. Still weird.

I don't trust the Western media either, but the thing to look for is the spin. The basic facts are going to come through OK, and lots creeps around the edges that is of relevance. It was the same way with Izvestia/Pravda back in the day, and the NYT has been this way for... well, forever.
