Residents in Saudi Arabia's capital say they have heard new explosions in Riyadh
New explosions have been heard in Riyadh, with blame falling again on Iran-backed Houthi rebels from Yemen
What the coverage shows
Both outlets center on reports of new explosions heard in Riyadh, with France 24 and The Independent each using that as the lead. France 24 adds context from its live update, including earlier reporting on damage to an Aramco building in Dhahran and injuries in Riyadh, while The Independent’s extract alone says blame is again being placed on Iran-backed Houthi rebels from Yemen.
