Claim 3: “Two residential buildings, a passenger car, and a civilian infrastructure facility were damaged in the attacks”
SINGLE SOURCE
One TASS report mentions that Ukrainian strikes damaged two residential buildings and a civilian car, which closely aligns with the claim. However, there is no second independent source to corroborate these specific damages for the same event, and other results refer to different dates (e.g., May 12).
