What to watch

Field verification
Watch for dated original statements and independent checks of locations and incident times, without turning an ongoing-fighting roundup into new attacks.
Civilian protection and humanitarian access
Watch for independent medical updates and actual vaccine and supply deliveries, avoiding addition of successive tallies from the same incident.
Original maritime advisories
Watch notice issue times, vessel identities and crew status; do not link an advisory to a named ship without matching evidence.
