Claim 4: “The Kiev regime intensified attacks on Russian territory along the line of contact on Friday night”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While web results mention general intensification of attacks and drone campaigns, none of the provided evidence specifically confirms that the 'Kiev regime intensified attacks on Russian territory along the line of contact on Friday night' (May 7-8). The evidence is too general or refers to different timeframes/targets.
