Claim 1: “One person died and another one was injured as a result of Ukraine’s attacks on Donetsk during the day”
CORROBORATED
Two separate web search results (including TASS) report that Ukrainian attacks resulted in one civilian killed and one wounded in Donetsk. While other search results discuss different dates (August 26) or different casualty counts (one killed, eight injured), the specific claim of one death and one injury is corroborated by the TASS reports.
