Fact-check: Alexander Khinshtein is confirmed as acting governor of Kursk Region who has reported multiple similar Ukrainian drone attacks killing civilians recently (e.g., Feb 27, 2026 killing 1 at auto shop). However, no real-time X posts or exact matching recent reports found for this specific incident involving 1 killed and 6 injured (including 3 children orphaned), making it partially consistent but unverified in detail. TASS as Russian state media is prone to unverified claims in the ongoing conflict, warranting skepticism without broader corroboration.
