- Coverage
- 82 outlets in 51 countries, across 5 regions, 2 of them trade press. The article links are no longer held: they lasted a week past the story’s last article; the outlet list is permanent. Of the 82 outlets, 2 state-owned, 8 public-service, 72 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.

- Timeline
- Earliest article Digi24, 18 Sept 2026, 08:06 UTC. First seen 18 Sept 2026, 08:10 UTC. Last seen 21 Sept 2026, 14:42 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, Russia. Topic Conflict & security. Hard news Not judged. This story predates the hard-news rule (methodology 3.0). 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
- 35.63, at the end of the last day measured. 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 major drone attack on Moscow during Russian elections. 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.
