Claim 3: “15 others injured after a student opened fire inside a school in Thailand.”
CORROBORATED
While the specific evidence provided for 'Claim 1' was irrelevant (Wikipedia entries for the number 15), the evidence provided for 'Claim 2' from NewsCord explicitly states 'Seven dead and 15 injured in shooting at Debsirin Nonthaburi School'. Additionally, V101 mentions 'over 30 injured'. Since NewsCord specifically cites the number 15, and other sources confirm the event and casualties, it is corroborated by the context of the overall event reporting.
