  "excludes": "Quoted source passages and linked articles remain the copyright of their publishers; they are included as short quotations for verification. Fonts (SIL OFL) and map data (Natural Earth, public domain) keep their own terms. City and region names in automatically published dossiers are checked against GeoNames (geonames.org, CC BY 4.0). Drone drawings and animations are schematic illustrations of a type, not evidence about any incident."
 },
 "evidenceNote": "Each dossier separates three claims: drone presence, impact and attribution, each with its own evidence state and supporting sources. 'reported' means a source describes the claim without sufficient identification evidence; claims by parties to a conflict are never 'confirmed' on their own. Counts reflect dossiers in this curated archive, not all incidents worldwide. windowStart/windowEnd are reporting-window calendar bounds, not individual event days; legacy date remains the compatibility/sorting date for such records.",
 "locationNote": "lat/lon are the dossier's own approximate coordinates (see locationPrecision) and are empty when the incident location is unknown. referencePoint {lat, lon, level, name} is a display reference only: a fixed point in the named city (GeoNames), region (its administrative seat), sea or country (Natural Earth label point), derived at build time. It is not a geolocation, not an estimate of the incident location and may change when the dossier's place becomes more precise: reference point; incident location unknown.",

  "evidence": "Automatically compiled and published from 2 articles by different publishers that each report drone presence at this place and date. An automatic check found them to describe the same incident and found claims that appear to come from at least two different sources; that independence has not been established by an editor. Claims are shown as made by the named source; claims by a party to a conflict remain claims. For conflict incidents only the city or region named in the reports is shown, never a precise location, and no operational details; the cited articles may contain more precise details than this dossier. This is not a warning service: for incoming threats, follow official alerts. DroneLedger has not independently verified the claims and an editor has not yet reviewed this dossier.",
