“The death toll from the Ukrainian military’s attack on a student dorm in the city of Starobelsk in the Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR) has risen to ten”
DISPUTED
The claim states the death toll has risen to ten. However, the provided evidence contains conflicting numbers: one source mentions 'four people were killed by strikes' on August 9, and another headline explicitly states 'Ukrainian Drone Attack Kills 4'. There is no evidence in the provided results confirming the number ten.

“another 38 people injured”
DISPUTED
The claim states 38 people were injured. The evidence is contradictory: one source mentions 'Thirty-five people suffered injuries', another says 'leave 35 wounded — official', while a third mentions '38 children' in a confusing context alongside a much larger number (1,432). Because multiple sources specifically cite 35, the claim of 38 is disputed.
