On this image it is clear that shell or missile which killed Mria came from the left https://s30121.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Screen-Shot-2022-02-28-at-10.08.56-PM.jpg.webp https://s30121.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Screen-Sho... That is North direction. Right toward the Russian forces which at the time had made that huge advance through Chernobyl toward Kiev. The trace in the pavement points to a large and fast shell or missile. Ukrainians are using up to 203mm which looks too small for that trace in the pavement. Also making that long trace in concrete pavement suggests low angle which for artillery would mean relatively close position - bringing large caliber like 203mm that close is usually not done, as well as you don't bring such your strategic artillery assets into position where enemy's tanks would be rushing right into your back. Such low angle is indicative of missile, cruise (not ballistic) or air launched. Cruise missile like Russian Kaliber would make bigger bang, so most probably it was an aircraft launched air-to-ground missile. Edit: downvoting without clear technical counter-arguments - i take it such people just don't like where the technical analysis leads to while not able to provide their own technical analysis :)

Your pucture is rotated. Here is the place: https://goo.gl/maps/kPKyJVTkDoFyWZD47 https://goo.gl/maps/kPKyJVTkDoFyWZD47 It looks like the south part of the hangar was damaged.

  Yes, the south part of hangar is damaged. That the missile came from the left (North) on the image i posted is obvious by the pattern of blast effects and the trace in pavement the missile made - it is very clear that the right end of the trace is deeper visually and by the blast effects geometry. The missile pierced the hangar roof - it is thin metal sheet not affecting anything - either where it was microsecond later damaged by the blast or where you see the hole over the tail of the plane on my original link as well as here https://d3lcr32v2pp4l1.cloudfront.net/Pictures/780xany/4/4/5/85445_an225damage2_861443.jpg https://d3lcr32v2pp4l1.cloudfront.net/Pictures/780xany/4/4/5... The missile struck pavement ~30m from hangar, the hangar is ~30m high and the roof is damaged to the point about ~30m from the edge. The missile came at low angle, so it could have come through the area there the roof was damaged by the blast (that gives minimum angle for the missile - by the 60m to 30m ratio - of a bit under 30 degree), and the hole over the plane's tail gives the low angle which is also a good candidate.

    > That the missile came from the left (North) on the image i posted is obvious by the pattern of blast effects and the trace in pavement the missile made I don’t know how can you see any patterns or traces on the pavement in this blurry screenshot with resolution probably around 1 pixel per foot. I can see the damaged hangar, but I for sure can’t see traces on the pavement.
