Why we checked itSpecific casualty figures for an ongoing military conflict — verifiable against official records and highly significant if inaccurate
What we foundThe '18 killed' figure was accurate at an earlier point in the conflict but is now outdated; by the October 8, 2026 debate, the official Pentagon count stood at 19 dead and over 800 wounded, making 'hundreds wounded' a significant undercount.
