The raised injury toll rests on the X account of Ukrinform, the Ukrainian national news agency, and on the headline of the article it links. That article was not read in full, so no figures or names beyond the headline are claimed here. The earlier balance of two killed and 33 injured came from the United24 platform post and from accounts describing the damage. The attribution of the strike to Russia is the wording of the reporting outlets and of the open-source account that described the missile, and no Russian authority statement was read for this record.
