"We think you blew up your own X" has been a common war crimes defense for years.

Apparently, Hamas blew up all the Gaza hospitals. Russia blew up the Nordstream II. Iran attacked their own girl's school. Americans shot down their own F-15s. Ukraine has attacked it's own dam.

You'd never even know war was going on. Everyone is just punching themselves.

IIRC, The dam is/was in occupied territory. It was hit by a missile.

I remember, that Russians were saying that, but according to the investigation the dam was blown up from inside? But I could be wrong here.

If I remember correctly, it changed hands a few times before it was destroyed

I wasn't following that closely, that could be true.
