Three Saudi nationals killed in Houthi attacks on Riyadh airport
The missile attacks come amid an escalation in fighting between the Iran-backed group and Saudi Arabia, which backs Yemen's government.
What the coverage shows
Most outlets frame the story around Houthi attacks on Riyadh airport and the Saudi response, with BBC News, The Guardian US, South China Morning Post and France 24 all foregrounding casualties or damage, while CNN emphasizes the Houthis claiming responsibility and warning of a longer conflict. Sky News is the only outlet to stress flight suspensions, and CNBC is the only one to highlight a pilot killed alongside a Saudi-led coalition promise of a “firm” response. Los Angeles Times stands apart from the rest by using its extract to focus on a Saudi-led coalition campaign against the Houthis more broadly rather than the airport attacks.
