Saudi-led coalition intercepts Houthi missile launched towards Riyadh
Saudi civil defence authority says danger passed after it issued alerts via its national early warning platform.
What the coverage shows
The two outlets frame the coverage differently. Al Jazeera leads on the coalition intercepting a Houthi missile headed for Riyadh and, in its extract, says Saudi civil defence later said the danger had passed after alerts were issued. BBC News instead foregrounds a Houthi missile hitting an Aramco building and, in its extract, says the Saudi energy ministry described a limited fire at Aramco’s headquarters complex in Dhahran.
