Framing Techniques Detected
Verb choice 'storm' — militaristic, aggressive framing vs. neutral 'intercepted' or 'stopped'
Passive voice 'have been seized' obscures agency and decision-makers
Single-source reliance on 'organizers have said' without corroboration or counterstatement
Headline emphasizes action (storm) over substance; description emphasizes quantity (39 of 51) to amplify seizure scope
