They write: On February 10, 2024, three "Shahed" drones hit an oil depot in Kharkiv, 15 neighboring houses burned down, 57 people were injured, and the worst of all, seven people died, including a whole family (parents and three children). Today (February 11) is a day of mourning in Kharkiv.
On the night of February 11, Pushkinists launched 45 Shaheds, of which 40 were shot down. They write, that some of them were flying to Kyiv, but all of them were shot down on approaches. At least I haven’t heard anything (Feb 11, 2024 at 8:06 am).
In the following table, I will summarize all observations on the lists of names in all jarlyks. Some objects have more than one name.
The following notations are used in the table:
– (A) and green background – indisputable, reliably identified objects;
– (Б) and yellow background – simple, acceptable assumptions;
– (B) and red background – complex, unlikely assumptions;
– (Г) and orange background – it was not possible to interpret, unclear names;
– (Д) and blue background – erroneously clear names;
– (E) and purple background – erroneously unclear (corrupted) names.

Distribution of names by classes in the middle group of jarlyks
A large number of corrupted names in jarlyks requires considering the development of spellings in each position of the list to identify the most correct and understandable one. But even these understandable names can be misunderstood, the guesses of the translators of the jarlyks, who tried to decipher the words written in Arabic letters that were unclear to them.
