War News Hub is a curated public-source index. We do not produce intelligence. We do not host original reporting. We point you to the best places that do: 211 of them, across 26 topics.
What gets included
Primary sources: official military and government communications, defense ministries, intelligence services, and international bodies (UN, NATO, OSCE, IAEA, ICRC).
Established wire services and newsrooms: Reuters, AP, AFP, BBC, and major national outlets with in-theater bureaus and named war correspondents.
Specialist analysts and trackers with a public track record and transparent methodology, such as ISW, ACLED, Bellingcat, CSIS, RUSI, IISS, Carnegie, the Critical Threats Project, war studies departments and regional experts.
Open-source intelligence (OSINT) collectives that publish their sourcing and corrections, verified accounts only.
On-the-ground voices: local journalists and outlets in the affected region, in the original language where possible.
What's excluded, and why
Anonymous aggregators with no editorial accountability or correction policy.
State propaganda outlets presented as neutral news. We link them only when they are clearly labelled as the official voice of a belligerent, never as independent reporting.
Speculation and rumour channels that don't separate verified from unverified claims.
Pure opinion outlets when better reporting-led alternatives exist for the same beat.
Paywalled sources are included only when they are the best available and the paywall is metered. Hard paywalls are noted.
How often it's updated
The source list is reviewed every two weeks. New conflicts get a fresh section as they escalate; dormant ones move to the historical timeline. Dead links are pruned on each pass. If a source loses credibility through repeated unretracted errors, undisclosed funding shifts or fabrication, it is removed and the change is noted in the next update.
What this site is not
Not an intelligence product. Nothing here is classified, proprietary, or original analysis. Every claim worth making lives at the other end of a link.
Not real-time. The index points you to real-time sources; the index itself updates on a two-week cadence.
Not neutral about facts, but neutral about framing. We include sources from across the political spectrum and from every side of every conflict. Inclusion is not endorsement.
Not affiliated with any government, military, intelligence service, news outlet, or advocacy group.
