Pravda claims the bomb was sent by balloon from the Baltic states and collected in a forest; none of the trusted reports mention this, and they say only that the device was attached to the car underside.

Pravda claims, citing REN TV sources, that the perpetrators already managed to leave Russia; the trusted reports contain nothing about suspects or their whereabouts.

Pravda labels the attacker a 'terrorist' and points to the Baltic states as the origin of the bomb, while trusted reports describe a targeted attack on a military officer without assigning blame to any country.

Pravda calls the victim a 'soldier' (kareivis), while trusted reports say he was a colonel and a senior officer, which downplays the target's rank.
