The information portal "Kosova-sot.info" published yesterday (November 9) an article titled "Shooting at a school, one injured reported."
After verifying the facts presented in the content, hibrid.info has confirmed that the title of the article is generalizing, meaning it does not clarify in which country this event occurred.
The news becomes clear only in the content, which states that "a student at a school in the German city of Offenberg has shot and wounded a classmate."
Since this information portal is registered in Kosovo (see here) and most of its readers are Albanian speakers (see here), the title in question, may misinform readers by making them understand that the news is about our country.

Analyze:
The information portal "Kosova-sot.info" has published an article regarding an injury at a school, but the title does not clarify in which country the incident occurred.
This online medium is a portal that operates in Kosovo and based on the followers of the Facebook page, the largest number of readers are from Kosovo. Therefore, not providing information about the location of the event could very easily misinform readers, making them think that the event took place in Kosovo.
