What's happening

Corroboration under way

One piece is missing to confirm

Several newsrooms describe the same fact, which is enough to publish it — not to confirm it. We are looking for an official source, another media family, or a witness on the ground.

Your description stays private — only the type and the area can appear, and only if other witnesses confirm.

What's missing to corroborate

  • An official source (local authority, prefecture, ministry)
  • A pick-up in another media family — TV, radio or social
  • A witness on the ground to pin the exact area
