Still open after this report
- Whether the six non-ballistic missiles in the 29-count were Zirkon/Onyx anti-ship missiles or a different hypersonic variant — sources disagree on the label, not the count.
- The precise breakdown of dead and wounded between Kyiv city and Vishneve, and any evacuation figure from Vishneve, is not corroborated in the reporting we drew on.
