Where the versions diverge
TASS only records explosions and uses the names Yelizavetgrad and Dnepropetrovsk, without naming targets or consequences. Ukrainian authorities name warehouses in Kropyvnytskyi district as the target and report no casualties; Ukrainian sources in the selection do not report separately on that evening's explosions in Kharkiv and Vinnytsia. Independent outlets do not cover these reports.
