Claim 2: “Sixteen people were killed and 130 injured when two drones hit the busy centre in Kryvyi Rih in quick succession”
DISPUTED
While several sources (Flipboard and two web search results) report 16 deaths and 130 injuries, other sources provide conflicting numbers: one web search result reports 15 deaths and 130 injuries, another reports 2 deaths and 15 injuries, and a Google News summary reports 5 deaths and more than 90 injuries. Because the death toll varies significantly across reports, the claim is disputed.
