 "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": "Engie reported drones near the Doel nuclear power plant on the evening of 9 November 2025. VRT and a European Pravda report relaying RTBF describe the operator account. Engie said the sightings had no impact on operations.",
  "impact": "No operational effect was reported by Engie. VRT also reported Crisis Centre monitoring. No shutdown, damage or interception is established here.",
  "evidence": "VRT and RTBF, relayed by European Pravda, are distinct reporting families. Both rely on Engie for drone presence and operational effects; this is not independent technical corroboration. VRT adds Crisis Centre confirmation of the report. Airport disruptions concern separate locations.",
  "unknown": "The event is dated 9 November; both selected reports were published 10 November. No operator, hostile purpose or final legal outcome is established. Nuclear-safety commentary is not adopted as an assessment. Tihange is not inferred to be another event. The Beveren city marker is not a plant or drone position.",
  "attribution": "No operator or organisation established. Attribution discussed for other Belgian incidents is not transferred to Doel.",
