  "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.",

  "summary": "Ukrinform and the Kyiv Post report a Russian drone attack on Kropyvnytskyi on 14 October 2026. The Kirovohrad regional military administration reported three deaths and six injuries in the city; these remain claims by an involved party.",
  "impact": "Ukrinform carried the regional administration's figures at 01:08 local time on 15 October 2026 (UTC+03:00): three dead and six injured in Kropyvnytskyi. The Kyiv Post, relayed by uazmi.com at 01:46, reports the same total, with five injured people treated in city medical facilities and one who refused hospitalisation, and describes damage to the grounds of a multi-storey residential building, windows and parked vehicles in the city. Damage to a transport enterprise and homes elsewhere in Kropyvnytskyi district, and in Oleksandriia district, is excluded from this city record.",
  "evidence": "Two separate news organisations, Ukrinform and the Kyiv Post, report this event. Both attribute the casualty figures to the regional military administration, so their agreement is not independent verification of the toll. Drone involvement remains reported. No social-media page was used as a source.",
  "unknown": "The final casualty total and the precise time of each strike are not established. The death toll rose during the night; the figure here is the total as of 15 October 01:08 local time, not a final count.",
  "attribution": "The cited Ukrainian reports attribute the attack to Russia. This attribution by an involved party has not been independently verified here.",
