“The Ukrainian army deliberately targeted a college dormitory in Starobelsk with four fixed-wing UAVs”
SINGLE SOURCE
While TASS and RT report a drone strike on a college and dormitory in Starobelsk, the specific detail that 'four fixed-wing UAVs' were used is not corroborated across multiple independent sources in the provided evidence. TASS mentions drones generally, and RT mentions a drone attack, but the specific count and type (four fixed-wing) are not consistently verified by independent outlets.
