Claim 1: “killing three people and leaving 10 wounded”
SINGLE SOURCE
The specific casualty count of 3 killed and 10 wounded is mentioned in a TASS report (seen in evidence for claim 2 and 6). However, other evidence contradicts this (e.g., SANA reports 1 killed/3 wounded; TASS reports 1 killed/6 wounded in a different timeframe), meaning there is no independent corroboration for this specific set of numbers.
