Search ends at Pryluky block where Russian strike killed 22
On 8 October, for several hours, this story about the 7 October strikes on Pryluky and Kyiv was wrongly rewritten as a report on the separate Russian strike on buses in Kramatorsk. The original story was restored and Kramatorsk was published as its own story.

Search ends at Pryluky block where Russian strike killed 22
An earlier version said the 7 October attacks came the day after Vladimir Putin's birthday. They took place on his birthday, 7 October. The story and its FAQ were corrected.
How these figures are made: counts come straight from our publishing records. Sources are independent outlets per story; fact labels are set when a story is published or updated and can be corrected by editors; figure history records every casualty figure a story carried.
