Unverified: 1 independent source.

Sources disagree on:

• Wording differs: @bonzerbarry describes alerts 'for attacks', while @MenchOsint describes 'early warning alerts' issued a few minutes before its post.
• Reporting times differ: @bonzerbarry's post is timed 14:10:02 UTC and @MenchOsint's 14:11 UTC, with the hour of issuance given only by @MenchOsint.
• Upstream source is unclear: @MenchOsint describes its item as a repost of a different X status (2112181688272875934), not of the @bonzerbarry post, so the original poster of the alert is not identified.
