🔴How do we verify fire claims?
🟡Geolocation Walkthrough

On 29 August 2022, SGG News reported a fire in Taung Myo village, Sagaing.

The disturbing images led MW investigators to try to verify the report, starting with geolocating the footage.

THREAD👇 Image
#OSINT #Geolocation

After initial assessment, it was possible to determine that several images showed the same location but were taken from a different angle.

When different images contain overlapping information, that can be a good place to start the geolocation work. ImageImageImageImage
Investigators often rely on satellite imagery for geolocation.

Analysis of the roofs and roads in the images can yield valuable information. Roof aspects (size, colour, shape) can be compared with road layout to make a unique pattern MW can then look for in satellite imagery. Image

🔴 Lay Kay Kaw
🟡 Report out soon

Lay Kay Kaw (လေးကေ့ကော်) in Kayin (ကရင်) State, once designated a ‘town of peace’, has been the site of violent clashes between the Myanmar military and the Karen National Union (KNU), since December 2021.

#WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
THREAD 👇 ImageImage
Instead of providing a site of refuge to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), returning refugees and KNU families, fighting in Lay Kay Kaw (လေးကေ့ကော်) has forced many residents to flee for their lives. Image
MW have published the first in a series of reports that document events in the region. It provides a detailed chronological reconstruction of the clashes between the military and oppositional forces between 13 and 28 December 2021. Image

🚨Vehicle Burning
...can seem insignificant when compared to other reports of #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar.

But vehicles
+ give freedom of movement
+ transport goods
+ often most-valued possession

When they are burnt it often reveals important clues to what happened.

🔥 Documenting fires in Myanmar
#WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

Today we look at methods for documenting the burning of civilian structures.

There are several methods we can use to verify that a fire occurred, and then to map that damage.

#OSINT #THREAD

1/35 👇
Following reports of a village being burnt, the first thing that we try to do is verify the attack. For that we look for thermal anomaly detections from several satellites that orbit the globe twice per day. These are the VIIRS and Aqua/Terra Earth Observation satellites.
The data from these satellites regularly gets uploaded to a NASA website called FIRMS:
firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/map/#d:24hrs;@…

There are a lot of fires (mostly burning agricultural fields after harvest), but if you have specific info it is very useful to verify.
