I don't understand the point you're trying to make. Most people's definition of "local" doesn't span 4 time zones.

Russia spans 11 timezones

USA spans 6 timezones (as many as the entire African continent)

China spans 5 timezones

Europe spans "only" 3 timezones (as many as Australia)

But if you say "it happened on French territory" it could be anywhere in the World
