Desk note: Monexus led with Telegram-sourced municipal and emergency services accounts rather than lead framing from Russian sources. Ukrainian official channels provided the most granular district-level detail, which wire services later confirmed. The article names Klitschko directly on the Obolonsky residential strike per the operativnoZSU source.
