Need the charge sheet, not the photo of smoke. Accuse ≠ convict.

Same week, multiple fronts. One tractor doesn't explain a map that red.

My cousin's village got the alert at 2am. Who cares about the tractor — get people out.

Al Jazeera leads with police accusation. I'll wait for the court filing.

Climate made the matchbook. A tractor may have struck the match.
