A Saudi-led coalition says it has reclaimed territory overrun by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels
A Saudi-led coalition has launched what it called a major campaign against Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets center the Saudi-led coalition’s claim of a large air campaign in Yemen involving 100 fighter jets and hundreds of Houthi targets. Sky News is more specific, saying the coalition reported 324 “high-value targets,” while The Guardian US adds that the operation was said to secure “air protection” of the Bab al-Mandab strait; that detail appears only in its extract.
