Those who want to follow developments from overseas might naturally turn to the SCMP. However, the lead story on their HK section Monday afternoon 1:40pm is, "Endangered Frog Turns Up in Survey of Tai Po Wetlands." Really.

You'll find rthk.hk with up-to-date reports in English. There's also the HK Standard and HK Free Press in English.

Not sure what you're seeing, but this story has been headline item all day on SCMP with live updates from the various happenings today.
I agree that SCMP has a tendency to underreport, though I have yet to find an alternative that has easy-to-follow live coverage. You can also turn to twitter, though you'll see a lot of repeat content and some unsubstantiated claims from various netizens of dubious authenticity.
SCMP is now owned by Alibaba, a mainland business, so people have expressed concerns about their impartiality.
RTHK.hk is run by the govt, so it's not exactly reliable either.
