Claim 1: “killing at least 15 people and wounding scores more”
SINGLE SOURCE
While France24 mentions 16 deaths in the Kryvyi Rih attack (which is close to the claim of 'at least 15'), the other provided evidence for this specific claim consists of irrelevant search results about 7-Eleven and general city information. Only one news source provides a casualty count.
