Claim 6: “DPR Head Denis Pushilin reported eight injured”

DISPUTED

There is conflicting information regarding Pushilin's reports. One source mentions Pushilin reporting six civilians injured on June 16, while another source mentions Pushilin reporting eight people killed and ten injured due to drone attacks. The specific claim of 'eight injured' is not consistently supported and is contradicted by other reported figures from the same official.
