Where the versions diverge

RIA Novosti reports power and water outages, citing Klitschko, but does not link them to the attack or mention casualties. The Ukrainian materials are unclear on the death toll: Ukrainska Pravda writes of a man killed and of a woman's body found in Obolon, RBC-Ukraine of one person killed.

What Russia reports

automatic summary RIA Novosti, citing Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko, reports that the capital was partly left without electricity and water: power problems cut supply to pumping stations, causing water outages on the right bank. The report does not mention an attack or casualties.
