What the coverage shows

Both outlets focus on the missile strike on Yemen’s presidential palace complex and the reported death toll of five. BBC News foregrounds the information minister’s account that the prime minister and other ministers were unhurt, while The Guardian US adds that the attack was the first on Aden’s al-Maashiq palace in the latest fighting. That “first on the palace” framing appears only in The Guardian’s extract.
