Yemen’s Houthis attack Aden airport as fighting intensifies
Yemen’s Houthis attacked Aden’s international airport with ballistic missiles and explosive-laden drones on Wednesday, the country’s transport ministry said, as fighting between the Iran-aligned group and Saudi-backed government forces intensified.

What the coverage shows
All four outlets frame the story as a contested military push, with Saudi-led or government forces claiming gains against the Houthis and the Houthis remaining the main counterparty. CNN is alone in foregrounding the Bab al-Mandeb Strait and global trade, while the Los Angeles Times emphasizes a Saudi-led coalition statement about reclaimed territory. Al Jazeera’s later item is the only one to mention reported attacks on Saudi airports, and BBC’s podcast extract stands apart by focusing on civilian life on the front lines.
