Claim 1: “Three people were killed and two others were injured in a Ukrainian attack on Crimea last night”
DISPUTED
While TASS and another web source report 3 deaths and 2 injuries, other sources provide significantly different casualty counts for attacks in the region. One source mentions 3 dead and 120 wounded, and BBC News reports 7 killed and 40 injured in a related incident in Krasnodar Krai. The discrepancy in casualty numbers across different reports makes the specific count of 'three killed and two injured' disputed.

Claim 2: “regional leader Sergey Aksyonov said... 'The enemy carried out another overnight attack on Crimea. Unfortunately, there were casualties: three civilians were killed and two people suffered injuries,' he wrote on Telegram.”
CORROBORATED
Multiple independent sources (TASS and another web report) explicitly attribute the statement regarding three deaths and two injuries to Sergei Aksyonov. France 24 also confirms Aksyonov as the source for reports of Ukrainian attacks in Crimea, although they cite a different casualty count (3 dead, 7 injured), corroborating that Aksyonov is the official reporting these events.
