Houthis Report Saudi Airstrikes as Fighting Widens in Yemen

According to Xinhua, Houthis reported a fresh wave of 'Saudi airstrikes' as fighting widened across Yemen. The report cited the escalation of hostilities. The Independent noted that Iran-backed Houthi rebels claimed Saudi-backed forces had launched dozens of airstrikes across four provinces. The two sources provided similar accounts but differed in phrasing and emphasis. Xinhua focused on the Houthis' report of airstrikes, while The Independent emphasized the involvement of Saudi-backed forces.
