Swiss made electronic components have been found in the Russian launched missile that hit a children’s hospital in Kyiv.

While the Kremlin denies the attack, Ukrainian officials say it was a Russian made CH – 101 missile. 

That view is also shared by independent analysis, according to the Bellingcat Research Network.

Some components were made by the Swiss firm STMicroelectronics.

In a statement, the company says it doesn’t authorise its products outside their intended purpose. 

The State Secretariat for Economic Affairs says the company hasn’t violated sanctions. The components are often used in a variety of devices with civilian use and are widely available.
