SINGLE SOURCE
The claim cites a specific statement from Acting Governor Alexander Khinshtein regarding the death toll in Rylsk. However, the provided evidence only contains general Wikipedia entries about Khinshtein's election and the general conflict in Kursk Oblast, but does not contain the specific report about the death toll rising to two due to an 83-year-old woman's death.
