NEEDS REVIEW

As of May 23, 2026 at 6:00 AM, this is how Optics News reads the wording differences in this story.

What happened A new Ebola outbreak in eastern DR Congo has killed 65 people, with roughly 246 cases reported by health officials.
The headline split This source map appears to mix related topics or outlier articles, so Optics should not treat it as a clean same-event wording gap yet.
Match confidence Developing. Only 9 sources are matched, and the source map is still narrow. Useful to watch, not enough to draw conclusions yet.

Wording differs, but the match is too narrow to read confidently yet.
