 "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.",
 "detailsNote": "media, operationalEffects, followUp and archiveEntity are editorial, source-indexed additions. Media is publisher-link only, has its own evidence status and never establishes drone presence or attribution. Debunked original-media links are removed; archived revisions omit media references. archivePattern is computed from mapped published event records at generated time, not a worldwide incident count. Null asOf means not established; publication time is not substituted.",

  "summary": "Youm7, relaying Ultra Sudan and local sources, reports drone attacks in Gedaref State at dawn on 26 October 2026. Reuters separately relays the state electricity operator's account naming affected facilities in the same state. Both describe electricity disruption; the account has not been independently verified.",
  "impact": "Local sources relayed through Ultra Sudan and Youm7 report damage and interrupted electricity supply in Gedaref State. The wider four-state outage in Reuters is not a Gedaref-only measurement. No casualty or damage count is established here.",
  "evidence": "Two independently produced reports were read: Reuters cites the Sudan Electricity Holding Company; Youm7 cites Ultra Sudan and local sources. Anonymous sources may overlap. Reuters explicitly could not independently verify the operator's account. The dossier remains reported.",
  "unknown": "Independent physical verification, the full extent and duration of the regional outage, and the drone operator are not established. Youm7's visible publication clock conflicts with its UTC metadata; the event day is stated separately.",
  "attribution": "The electricity operator and local-source reporting attribute the strikes to the Rapid Support Forces. This remains an allegation. Reuters reports that the RSF did not immediately respond.",
