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, 1 state-owned, 1 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
Countries by region: Middle East 2: Saudi Arabia, Turkey. 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.
Timeline: Earliest article Arab News, 27 Sept 2026, 18:45 UTC. First seen 27 Sept 2026, 18:50 UTC. Last seen 29 Sept 2026, 16:40 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 Middle East, Yemen. 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 Fighting intensifies between Houthis and Yemeni forces in Taiz; Yemeni government forces claim strikes on Houthi positions in Yemen’s al-Wazi’yah. A story continues another when it resembled it as it began, past that story’s own 48-hour box.
