official bulletin

Authorized public statement

An official bulletin is a formal announcement or statement issued by an authority—a government agency, military command, or institution.

Bulletins convey urgent information, policy updates, or public notices: The health department released an official bulletin about the outbreak.

The phrase emphasizes that the communication is authoritative rather than rumor or speculation.
