Claim 4: “The attacks focused exclusively on civilian facilities with no connection to combat operations or military infrastructure”
DISPUTED
The claim asserts attacks focused 'exclusively' on civilian facilities. However, provided evidence includes a report from Reuters regarding a strike on a 'fuel depot' in Belgorod and a YouTube source mentioning the destruction of 'Kalibr cruise missiles' in Crimea, both of which are military/strategic targets, directly contradicting the 'exclusively civilian' assertion.
