The portal “Kosova-sot.info” has published an article titled “'Emergency Situation' Declared in the North”.
But, after verifying the facts presented in this article, conducted by hibrid.info, it turns out that the headline did not make clear the news and location of this development.
This becomes clear only in the content, which states that the authorities installed by Russia in Crimea have declared a State of Emergency in the north of the occupied peninsula after explosions at a military base in the Dzhankoi district.
Considering that this Albanian language information portal is registered in Kosovo (here) and the majority of its audience is from this country (based on followers on their Facebook page), including the fact that the title of the article does not clarify where it is about, making it possible for readers to be misinformed, making them imply that it is about northern Kosovo, considering recent events (here).

Analyze:
The title of the article published by "Kosova-sot.info" does not state in which north of the country a state of emergency has been declared.
The information portal "Kosova.info" is a portal that operates in Kosovo and whose primary readers are from Kosovo, based on the page's followers on facebookTherefore, by not providing information about the country in question, this news could very easily misinform its readers, making them think that the developments are related to northern Kosovo.
Based on the working methodology, hibrid.info evaluates this article as "clickbait".
Reasoning:
