Claim 3: “Twelve people, including three children, have been evacuated from homes damaged in a Ukrainian drone attack on the southern Russian city of Gelendzhik”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
The claim states that 12 people were evacuated from damaged homes. However, multiple independent sources (Reuters, tovima.com, #Mezha) report a far more severe outcome: a drone attack in Gelendzhik/Arkhipo-Osipovka that killed 6-7 people, including three children, and injured around 40 others. The evidence contradicts the 'evacuation of 12' narrative by reporting a mass-casualty event.
