- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

Russian forces struck a shopping center in the city of Pavlohrad, located in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region, on September 10. Reports on the casualties vary across sources. Several outlets report five deaths and 67 injuries, while others cite at least seven deaths and 76 injuries across the province. Regional governor Oleksandr Hanzha and Interior Minister Ivan Vyhivskyi stated that the attack occurred during the day when streets were crowded, resulting in damage to shops, retail pavilions, and vehicles. Some sources specify that a drone was used in the attack.
Ukrainian officials described the strike as part of a broader pattern of targeting civilians. Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha called the tactic one of coercion intended to force Ukraine into concessions. President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed gratitude for a military agreement with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney worth over 2 billion dollars, which includes funding for air defense and drone co-production to protect Ukrainian civilians from such attacks.
Other strikes were reported in the region and beyond. In Dnipro, attacks targeted a sunflower oil plant and food warehouses. Additional Russian strikes hit shopping centers in Sumy and Zaporizhzhia earlier in the week. Conversely, Russian officials reported Ukrainian drone attacks on the resort city of Sochi, which injured 28 people, and the town of Novy Oskol in the Belgorod region, where one person was killed.
