Are we just going to ignore the suspicious cluster of data points around the area of Ukraine?

Ahah 🤣 it would be cool to be able to detect the conflict from this data. I just tried to do the visualization since 01-2020 above the Ukraine but it's hard to deduce something from it...

I mean, this exact data has been used to deduce information about the war, so I instantly went looking for that 😅

But yea, at the point when the invasion started you can clearly see a lot of clustering around the occupied areas, specially towards the later stages of the war when the shift to heavy usage of artillery and slow advance happened.

Awesome! I've been working on a similar post that comes out today! Glad to see we have people working on it in multiple languages and ways.

I wound up using ArcGIS and Python and I was thinking about switching to FIRMS instead. It seems pretty straightforward to use. 🤔
