WarPulse aggregates conflict data from established international news organizations. We do not generate original reporting. All information is attributed to its source, and casualty figures are cross-referenced across multiple outlets before publication.
Compiled from multiple sources and averaged. Numbers reflect reported estimates and may lag official counts by hours or days. Figures are labeled as estimates and include military and verified civilian casualties separately where possible.
Reports are included only when corroborated by at least one wire service (Reuters or AP) or two independent broadcast outlets. Unverified claims are flagged until confirmation.
Wire services (Reuters, AP) are given highest factual weight for numbers and events. Broadcast networks are used for context, statements, and analysis. Regional sources (Al Jazeera) are essential for ground-level reporting.
The feed is updated continuously during active conflict hours. Oil price data refreshes every 5 minutes from market APIs. Map status is updated manually when major escalations occur.
Brent crude futures prices are pulled from Yahoo Finance's public API (BZ=F ticker). Pre-conflict baseline is the 90-day average prior to June 13, 2025.
