late-breaking
Hot off wire
Late-breaking describes news or developments that emerge just before a deadline or broadcast: We interrupt this program for late-breaking news.
The term comes from journalism, where stories "break" when they become public.
Late-breaking information arrives at the last moment, often requiring rapid response or revision of plans already underway.
