A reminder that Sputnik is a state-controlled Russian outlet. Even when a story is true, it's worth verifying through independent reporting rather than relying on a propaganda source.

Verify first, share later.

Edit: I did further research It actually turns out the story is real. The problem is that Sputnik isn't the source. CNN and Reuters confirmed it independently. Always check the original reporting. And it does not change the fact that Sputik is to be treated carefully.
