The chapters

This story continues an earlier wave: Arab leaders condemn Houthi attacks on Saudi airports, 6 to 8 Oct 2026, 11 outlets.

The figures

Coverage: 3 outlets in 2 countries. The article links are kept for good for every story that reaches the map. Of the 3 outlets, 1 state-owned, 2 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
Countries by region: Asia-Pacific 2: India, Vietnam. The region a country’s press publishes from, as the feed list files it; the outlets that publish from no single country count as one country under International.
Languages: English, Vietnamese.
Timeline: Earliest article Hindustan Times, 8 Oct 2026, 12:55 UTC. First seen 8 Oct 2026, 13:40 UTC. Last seen 9 Oct 2026, 09:19 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 Middle East, Saudi Arabia. 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: Continues Arab leaders condemn Houthi attacks on Saudi airports. Continued by India condemns Houthi missile attack on Riyadh airport that killed 12. A story continues another when it resembled it as it began, past that story’s own 48-hour box.
