The chapters

This story continues an earlier wave: Russia launches drone attacks on Ukraine as war intensifies, 1 to 4 Oct 2026, 26 outlets.

The figures

Coverage: 2 outlets in 2 countries. The article links last a week past the story’s last article; the outlet list is permanent. Of the 2 outlets, 2 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
Countries by region: Europe 2: France, Ukraine. 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, French.
Timeline: Earliest article Kyiv Independent, 4 Oct 2026, 13:18 UTC. First seen 4 Oct 2026, 14:10 UTC. Last seen 5 Oct 2026, 06:19 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 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: 0.08, as of now. 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 Russia launches drone attacks on Ukraine as war intensifies. A story continues another when it resembled it as it began, past that story’s own 48-hour box.
