Doubtful portals have published an article with the false claim that several tanks are approaching the Kosovo border.
Hibrid.info has fact-checked this article, where it has been confirmed that the title is false and does not correspond to the content.
The news is old, published in 2018 by the portal "zëri.info", which claimed that "Serbia sends tanks to the border with Kosovo."
Also, zëri.info had published a video with the description that "Serbian tanks are seen going from Presheva towards the border point in the village of Muqibabë on the border with Gjilan."
