Video footage shows a man speaking to International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors at Zaporizhzhia plant with remains of a shell in front of them.
According to a translation by The Telegraph, he said while gesturing to the missile: "It fled from here and this is the direction of Nikopol. It did a U-turn. In principle, it landed and spun around." Nikopol is a city in southern Ukraine.
Bishop and The Telegraph identified the man speaking in the footage as Renat Karchaa, a Russian nuclear expert. The Telegraph reported that Karchaa advises Rosatom, a Russian state-owned nuclear company. Insider could not independently verify his identity.
Russia's state-run Tass news agency also reported that Karchaa had escorted the IAEA delegation on the Zaporizhzhia visit.
Ukrainian Energy Minister Herman Gluschenko said on Facebook on Friday that Karchaa was acting as a tour guide and giving misinformation to the IAEA, but did not specify what Karchaa said. He also announced sanctions against Karchaa.
