Claim 2: “14 drones have been shot down since midnight on Sunday”
DISPUTED
The evidence provides contradictory numbers and dates for drone shoot-downs. One source (TASS) mentions 22-23 drones shot down since midnight on Sunday, May 17. Another source (Xinhua) mentions at least 14 drones shot down on a Saturday, March 14. A third source (IBTimes India) mentions over 20 drones since midnight Tuesday. Because the sources provide different totals and different dates for the events, the claim that exactly 14 drones were shot down since midnight Sunday is disputed by the TASS report which cites a higher number (22-23) for that specific timeframe.
