Where the versions diverge
There are no materials from the Russian group in the roundup. Ukrainska Pravda reports a fire in the school building and damage to a warehouse building after a drone fell; Associated Press writes that the warhead did not explode, no deaths or injuries were reported, and there was damage and traces of fire on the facade. These reports do not necessarily contradict each other: the Ukrainian report does not specify whether the warhead exploded or whether there were any casualties.
