“At least 8 people, including a 12-year-old girl, were killed after a Russian missile slammed into a Kyiv apartment block on Thursday morning”
DISPUTED
Multiple sources report the event on May 14, 2026, but the death toll and victim details vary significantly: one source says 8 dead (including a 13-year-old), another says 12 dead (including a 15-year-old), and another says 7 dead. The claim of 8 dead including a 12-year-old is partially supported by some sources but contradicted by others.
