Is the Wi-Fi deauthentication attack in the wikipedia article correct? [closed]

As we know, a deauth (de-authentication) attack is an attack in which an attacker crafts a forged deauthentication frame, and sends it to the client as if coming from the Access Point, and then the client (victim) will be deauthenticated, thinking that the order came from the AP. In this Wikipedia article it says :

An attacker can send a deauthentication frame at any time to a wireless access point with a spoofed address for the victim.

With the following timeframe diagram of the attack:

As a new learner in this field, I got a little dubious. I would like to know whether the Wikipedia article is correct or not, and if there is another type of this attack that targets the AP directly actually exists.
