Ahead of the news
Before any news outlet
25%
of the 580 Events with a news or wire report had an earlier report from another source, a median of 97 min earlier.
For each Event reported by a news outlet or wire service: was there a report from another source, published earlier? The minutes are the median lead of those that were. Earlier reports come from official channels and OSINT channels on Telegram, X and Reddit.
Times are when each source published the report. An earlier report is not proof by itself; it is where the Event first appeared, linked so you can check it. 1,333 Events had a report this month; 499 of them have more than one source.
How precisely Events are placed
1,324 Events first reported this month. Each Event states how precisely its place is known, from its reports, and is never placed more precisely than that.

About this report
Published every month for the month before, from the same data as the map, the Events and the API. Nothing is estimated or typed in. Figures for a finished month are fixed a day after it ends.
