Coverage leans: center-left

The coverage leans center-left due to the dominance of Western liberal outlets (FT, Le Monde, CBC) and regional left-leaning sources (Danas, Vijesti) that emphasize humanitarian costs and diplomatic failures, while right-leaning sources (Press TV, Arab News) provide counter-narratives focused on state sovereignty and military justification.
