An unconfirmed report is a news article or rumor that lacks verification or factual proof. Synonyms for this term include "alleged," "unverified," "unsubstantiated," "speculative," "hearsay," "unproved," "unauthenticated," and "unofficial." These words are often used to describe a piece of news or information that has not yet been confirmed by a reliable source. Journalists or news agencies may use these terms to indicate that they cannot vouch for the accuracy or reliability of a report. It is essential to be cautious when relying on unconfirmed reports, as they may not reflect the truth, and their credibility is often questionable.
