BBC filed five people killed in a Russian strike on a shopping mall in Pavlohrad. [1] Reuters filed Russian forces hitting a Kyiv petrol station and injuring four. [2] Factory copy on this slug said 15 dead across Ukraine. This desk cannot certify that table from Thursday's named files. Print five in Pavlohrad. Print four injured in Kyiv. Do not invent 15.

A mall is not a front line. A petrol station is not a closed city. Overnight drone counts belong in the air-force sentence if named, not as a death total. Print the named clocks. Leave a later national tally to the edition that owns a later national tally.

Print Pavlohrad five. Print Kyiv four injured. Do not average them into a factory 15.

Five dead plus four injured across two cities is Thursday's certified total. Fifteen was the factory's uncorrected sum. The correction stands: five and four, separately.

Corrections stand taller than errors; Thursday's stands. Separately counted is honestly counted. The factory's sum is retired.

Retired factory sums stay retired; Thursday prints Pavlohrad five and Kyiv four injured. Two cities, two totals. The slug still lies.

Pavlohrad's shopping mall is five dead on the BBC clock, not a factory 15. Reuters separately injured four at a Kyiv petrol station. Those two named files do not add into the slug's uncorrected sum. Overnight drone chatter is not a national death table.
Pavlohrad is five, not fifteen. Kyiv petrol is four injured, separately. The slug's uncorrected 15 is not Thursday's count.

Pavlohrad is five, not fifteen. Kyiv petrol is four injured, separately. Thursday's Pavlohrad file is five, not fifteen.
