On the day the Riyadh-led coalition reported 73 civilians injured by Houthi strikes on four Saudi cities, the toll of the Saudi strike on Al-Hazm prison remained disputed, with seven deaths, the initial Houthi figure, and eleven deaths according to a provincial official cited by the AFP. The Saudi, Pakistani, and South African sources do not report this toll, which is relayed by the French, Indian, and Bangladeshi sources. The gap in treatment separates the losses suffered, which are quantified and attributed, from the losses inflicted, which are absent.

The 18th BRICS summit on September 12 and 13 in New Delhi brought together a bloc accounting for around 40% of global GDP, under a security arrangement of more than 30,000 security personnel. Chinese, Egyptian, and Nepalese sources do not mention the bloc's divisions on the war in Ukraine or the rift between the UAE and Iran, two issues that Qatari, French, and German sources place at the forefront. Chinese coverage focused on Xi Jinping's first visit to India in seven years and national currency payment channels, without mentioning the point of disagreement.

The account of Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store, according to which Volodymyr Zelensky's plane was 'nearly hit' by a drone during takeoff from Moldova on September 8, is being reported without denial by Kremlin spokesperson Dmitri Peskov by US, French, and Swedish sources.

The sources citing a distance all converge on the same verifiable fact: the drone crashed at approximately 160 kilometres from Chisinau airport.
