Fars news agency, which is linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, claimed on the morning of 28 March that Iran struck a storage site for Ukrainian unmanned systems in Dubai along with specialist personnel who supposedly were at the site.

Source: Israeli media outlet Ynet, citing Fars; Ukraine's Foreign Ministry spokesman Heorhii Tykhyi

Details: Fars is claiming that 21 Ukrainians were at the site at the time of the strike and have "probably died".

Ukraine's Foreign Ministry has denied the claim.

Quote from Tykhyi: "This is a lie. We officially deny this information.

The Iranian regime often carries out such disinformation operations and in this it is no different from the Russians."

Background: Ebrahim Azizi, a member of the Commission on National Security and Foreign Policy of Iran's parliament, claimed earlier that Ukraine had turned its territory into a legitimate target for Iran because of supposed drone assistance to Israel.
