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.
