 "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": "A drone report prompted a temporary suspension of operations at Liège Airport on the morning of 7 November 2025.",
  "impact": "AP quotes the airport communications head giving a Friday-morning interruption around 07:00–08:00 local time. Reuters quotes skeyes saying a report around 06:30 GMT, or 07:30 local, led to about 30 minutes of closure. Exact start and duration differ between the accounts; neither a precise interval nor a final affected-flight count is selected.",
  "evidence": "Two original institutional accounts: AP quotes the airport communications head on operational interruptions, and Reuters quotes skeyes on the report and precautionary closure. Different media do not independently identify a drone. The sources agree that operations resumed Friday morning but give different approximate start times and durations.",
  "unknown": "Drone identity, operator, intent and exact closure boundaries remain unresolved. This covers 7 November morning only; Thursday-evening interruptions are not included. The previous one-flight count is omitted because its earlier source was not usable in the VPS precheck. The point remains a coarse regional reference.",
  "attribution": "No operator or responsible organisation established by these sources; no criminal charge or conviction is asserted.",
