Our Mission

Conflict Brief is dedicated to providing timely, accurate, and comprehensive coverage of global conflict developments, geopolitical events, and international security matters. Our goal is to aggregate and curate news from multiple reputable sources to give readers a complete picture of evolving situations.

Sources

We aggregate news from reputable international sources to provide comprehensive coverage of global events. Our source network includes:

  • Major international wire services and news agencies
  • Established regional news outlets with on-the-ground reporting
  • Government and institutional press releases
  • Verified open-source intelligence (OSINT) channels
  • Academic and research institution analyses
  • Official military and defense communications

We strive to include perspectives from multiple sides of any conflict to provide balanced coverage. Source diversity is a cornerstone of our editorial approach.

Verification Standards

All stories published on Conflict Brief are reviewed for accuracy before publication. Our verification process includes:

  • Cross-referencing claims across multiple independent sources
  • Verifying the credibility and track record of original sources
  • Flagging unconfirmed reports and clearly labeling them as such
  • Distinguishing between first-hand reporting and secondary analysis
  • Reviewing imagery and video for authenticity when applicable

In fast-moving situations, we may publish breaking news with appropriate caveats when information is still developing. We prioritize accuracy over speed.

Corrections Policy

  • Errors are corrected as soon as they are discovered or reported

  • We do not delete articles; instead, we update them with corrections
Report an Error: If you identify an error in our coverage, please contact us at contact@conflictbrief.com. Include the article URL and a description of the issue.

Updates and Timestamps

Global events evolve rapidly, and our coverage reflects this reality:

  • Articles may be updated as situations develop with new information
  • Timestamps reflect the latest significant update to an article
  • Original publication dates are preserved for reference
  • Major updates are noted within the article when appropriate
