Desk note: Monexus framed the strike count from the Ukrainian Air Force as the primary record, treated Tasnim and JahanTasnim material as Russian-aligned counter-claims requiring explicit caveats, and sourced the diplomatic exchange to BBC, DW, NYT and Reuters wires rather than to either side's wartime propaganda channels.
