Claim 2: “According to the Xinhua news agency, 82 people were killed.”
DISPUTED
There is a contradiction in the reported death toll attributed to state media/Xinhua. One source explicitly states Xinhua reported 82 people killed, while another source states Xinhua reported 90 people killed. Because the number varies between 82 and 90 across different reports citing the same agency, the specific number is disputed.
