Corrections
When a published figure or fact in the record changes, the change is recorded here and never deleted. Conservative counting means corrections are usually upward — a confirmed figure rising as evidence arrives — but every kind of correction belongs on this page.

Corroboration status corrected from “confirmed” to “reported — awaiting corroboration”. The entry’s figures are unchanged but are no longer counted in the site’s totals until an independent outlet confirms them.
A source-grading bug matched outlet names as fragments of longer words, so aggregator-hosted sources whose stored text merely contained the letters “ap” were graded as the Associated Press (Tier 1). This entry’s “confirmed” status rested on such sources; its actual sourcing does not yet meet the confirmation bar. Found by adversarial review on 28 August 2026, verified against the record, and corrected on the senior reviewer’s ruling of 29 August 2026.

Removed a source that was not a real article: a synthetic test fixture from development ("Test Publisher", example.invalid) had been attached to this entry and displayed publicly among its sources.
The fixture was created while building the review pipeline and was seeded to production with the initial database. The entry's figures (21 killed, 37 abducted) come from real outlets and are unchanged. Removed on the senior reviewer's ruling; the removal is logged in the entry's trace.
