- Coverage
- 40 outlets in 27 countries, across 5 regions. The article links last a week past the story’s last article; the outlet list is permanent. Of the 40 outlets, 5 state-owned, 1 public-service, 34 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.

Europe 15: Austria, Belgium, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Ukraine, United Kingdom. Middle East 2: Iran, Turkey.

- Timeline
- Earliest article Unian, 1 Oct 2026, 15:46 UTC. First seen 1 Oct 2026, 15:50 UTC. Last seen 3 Oct 2026, 08:40 UTC. The earliest article is the earliest claimed publication time among the outlets Loudest reads, a claim rather than an observation and not a record of who broke the story (the data files call it the lead article); first seen is when Loudest first fetched an article of it, from which the running time counts.
- Classification
- Region Europe, Ukraine. Topic Conflict & security. Hard news Judged hard news. On the map. Whether the story is hard news under the rule in the methodology, judged from its headlines by a model; a story judged outside the rule is left off the map and kept here. The region and country are where the story is about, not where it was covered.
- Score
- None now: last seen more than 48 hours ago, so off the ranking. One vote per general-press country and a smaller term for outlets, each counted from the moment it joined the story and fading on its own clock, so a late article does not renew the rest. A day in the archive keeps the score it was ranked by that day.
- Chain
- Continued by Ukraine launches first domestically-produced ballistic missile. A story continues another when it resembled it as it began, past that story’s own 48-hour box.
- Day by day
Outlets and countries are the story’s whole life as of that midnight; the 24-hour columns are that day’s own coverage; the last column is the methodology version the day was measured under, and a day that spans a change of version shows the first and last, linked to the changelog that lists every version between. A day marked partial is one Loudest read only in part: fewer than 130 of its 144 ten-minute runs, or more than 30 minutes missed at its start or end.
