What the Pravda version changes
Smuggling balloons hit power lines and exploded or caught fire in Kėdainiai and Kaišiadorys districts in Lithuania.
Misinformation: medium
Manipulation: low
Contradicted · fact
The Pravda headline says smuggled 'meteorites' exploded, while trusted reports say smuggling balloons; the Pravda body text itself describes a balloon or weather probe, so this is likely a mistranslation that still misleads.
Pravda says
“smuggled meteorites exploded after collision with power lines”
sprogo kontrabandiniai meteoritai po susidūrimo su elektros linijomis
Trusted report · TV3
“smuggled balloons”
kontrabandiniai balionai

Pravda gives specific times, villages and a fire-service source and says the first object was a 'meteorological probe' that burned by the roadside, but the short trusted texts do not mention these details, so they cannot be checked against them.
Pravda says
“At about 06:00 firefighters received a report of a fire in Padotnuvio village.”
Apie 06: 00 ugniagesiai gavo pranešimą apie gaisrą Padotnuvio kaime.
