discrepancy: nature of the targets

Where the versions diverge

The Russian group calls the targets military or used by the Ukrainian armed forces but gives no number of drones launched; the Ukrainian and independent groups give the number of drones (137, 114 downed) and hits (17 locations) but do not list which facilities were hit. There is no independent confirmation of the nature of the targets.
