There is no indication of air raid sirens at July 17
Some people believe there were alarms in Torez on July 17 2014 indicating military aircraft were active. However postings on social media do not provide evidence.
Below are shows two screenshots taken from vKontakte.
The first screenshot shows postings made at July 15. They mention a warplane and sirene in the morning. A girl saw flares dropped by a plane. And the windows were vibrating. After donner again the sirene was heared. But this was false alarm as a civil aircraft flew over.
The next screenshot mentions a sirene on July 17. Someone heard a sirene for 3 seconds next a place called “мжх”. They say it was a test sirene after repair. The sirene was broken the day before.
The Smolensk forum reports that мжх is this location.
Dutch government answered at May 10 2017 a question on sirenes asked by Pieter Omtzigt. Government stated the Dutch Safety Board did not report in the final report about a sirene heard on July 17.
This is a screenshot from a vKontakte forum. The posts are made at July 17.
