“Three people were killed and 12 more wounded, including children, following a Ukrainian drone attack on Russia’s Ryazan Region”
SINGLE SOURCE
The specific casualty count (3 killed, 12 wounded) is reported only by TASS. Other web results discuss different drone attacks in the Ryazan region (e.g., oil refinery fires, apartment damage) or different regions (Krasnodar), but do not corroborate these specific numbers.

“Malkov stated on his Max social network channel”
DISPUTED
The claim states Malkov used the 'Max' social network. However, multiple other evidence sources (Al Jazeera and other web results) explicitly state that Governor Malkov reports information on his 'Telegram channel'. While 'Max' is mentioned as a national messenger in Russia in a separate Moscow Times article, the specific reports of the drone attacks are linked to Telegram.
