Claim 1: “A Ukrainian drone attack on a private house in the village of Kozyrevka in the Kursk Region has killed a man and wounded seven people”
DISPUTED
While one web search result explicitly confirms the attack in Kozyrevka with one death and seven injuries, another web search result reporting on the same date (August 5) in the Kursk region reports one death and six injuries. This creates a discrepancy in the number of wounded.
