Claim 3: “Governor Yury Slyusar said... 'Overnight, around 30 drones have been destroyed as a drone attack on Taganrog and eight districts of the Rostov Region was being repelled,' he wrote on the Max messenger.”
SINGLE SOURCE
One web search result directly quotes the statement attributed to Governor Yury Slyusar on the Max messenger regarding the 30 drones. However, no other independent sources corroborate this specific quote or the identity of the governor in this context; other search results for 'Governor' refer to US governors.

Claim 4: “Around 30 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been taken down overnight in the Azov Sea port city of Taganrog and eight districts of south Russia’s Rostov Region”
DISPUTED
Multiple web search results report different numbers of drones destroyed in the same event: one source mentions 'around 30 drones', another mentions 'more than 60 drones', and a third mentions 'about 37 drones'. Because these independent reports provide conflicting figures for the same incident, the claim is disputed.
