What the coverage shows
Most outlets frame the story as an escalating Saudi-Houthi conflict centered on repeated airport strikes, with NBC, CBS, BBC, Al Jazeera and France 24 all emphasizing damage, deaths and the wider regional implications. CBS and 60 Minutes are especially focused on Trump weighing U.S. involvement, while The Guardian and France 24 add explanatory or live-blog framing; The Independent and The Hill stand out for highlighting flights, oil prices and other knock-on effects. Fox News is the only outlet here to mention the attack in a completely different context, a wrestler losing his job after referencing it.
