## Coverage angles

The three sides report the same facts (nighttime break-in, ransacking, fires under control, no injuries), but differ by angle: the left focuses on the factual account of the break-in, the center highlights the ministerial visit, the investigation and testimonies from officials, while the right favors emotional and denunciatory reactions and prior incidents.

- Around a hundred residents present in the facility

**Differences**

- The center highlights the ministerial visit and judicial details, absent from the left and right articles provided
