OSINT Mini-Poll: Visual Verification 🔎
When verifying an image during an investigation, there’s rarely a single “most important” check, the priority often depends on the context, available evidence, and the question you’re trying to answer.
That said, which of the following would you be most likely to prioritise first, and in what situations?
📍 Geolocation — exact coordinates, landmarks, terrain
⏱️ Time & date — shadow analysis, weather, metadata
📷 Camera/source metadata — EXIF data and technical indicators
📰 Original publisher/source lineage — tracing where the image first appeared
Let us know your thought in the comments! 👇

💥 Reported Airstrike and Rocket Attack in Kanbalu Township
☑️ Kanbalu, Sagaing
☑️ 28 September 2026
On 28 September 2026, at around 13:00 local time, the Myanmar Air Force (MAF) reportedly carried out airstrikes using a fighter jet, dropping bombs and firing rockets on Inn Lel Gyi Village in Kanbalu Township, Sagaing Region, as residents were allegedly preparing to flee amid reports of advancing military columns and surveillance drones.
According to local media, four civilians, including two women and two children under the age of five, were killed. In addition, nine others were injured. The attack also reportedly damaged houses, and destroyed a grocery store and a vehicle by fire.
By matching distinctive landmarks visible in a video circulating online with satellite imagery on Google Earth, Myanmar Witness geolocated the strike site to Inn Lel Gyi Village.
Furthermore, shadow analysis was conducted using SunCalc (measuring a body-to-shadow ratio of approximately 0.58) and the recorded time of the video footage was estimated between 13:00 and 14:00 local time. This is consistent with the reported airstrike time.
