The information portal "gazeta-shqip.com" published yesterday (July 14) the article titled "The well-known beach that put the lives of vacationers at risk is closed, here's what was found at the luxury resort."
After fact-checking conducted by hibrid.info, it was determined that the title of this article is a generalization that does not clarify which country's beach is being referred to.
After clicking the article link, the news item is clarified, where it says "Sofular Beach in the Black Sea resort of Sile near Istanbul was closed after 28 unexploded mines were found, authorities said."
Based on the "PERSONAL DATA" section on the website of this information portal, where his address appears to be in Tirana (see here), this makes the general title leave room for misinformation among readers that the event took place on a beach in Albania.

Analyze:
After verifying the facts, hibrid.info has confirmed that the portal "sot.com.al" published an article regarding the closure of a beach in Turkey, after 28 mines were found there, but the title does not clarify in which country the event occurred.
Based on the working methodology, hibrid.info evaluates this article as "Clickbait".
Reasoning:
The “Clickbait” rating is given to texts whose titles have no basis in the content of the following text. Such texts and articles aim to attract the attention of the reader or even the consumer with a sensational title by promising content that does not actually exist and are created mainly out of financial interest, that is, due to increased readability. So, this type of text is intended only to click, which can be converted into a profit for the content producer.
