Headline: “…exploded over Berlin” Body: “…producing a bright but harmless fireball visible for miles around.”

It also wasn’t over Berlin, but like 60 kilometers away.

And I live 2 hours' drive outside of DC but if I'm talking to someone not from the region I just say "DC area" if asked where I live.

It's pretty common to reference a nearby place name that is well known/recognized versus a place name that might be more accurate but leaves most receivers/readers/etc thinking "...where?"

The article did not say "Berlin area", so your "DC area" is not the same.

If something happens over your house, is it "over Washington"?

In a news article about it? Probably.
