Claim 1: “Three people, including an eight-year-old child, were killed”

DISPUTED

There is conflicting information regarding the child's age and the total number of children killed. TASS reports one eight-year-old child among three deaths. Memesita also mentions an eight-year-old in Novorossiysk. However, another source reports that three minors (aged 13, 15, and 16) were killed, and a third source reports only one child was killed. The specific detail of an 'eight-year-old' is contested by other reports of different ages/counts.
