What the coverage shows
The outlets all focus on fighting around the Bab el-Mandeb area and Yemeni government or Saudi-backed forces pushing against the Houthis. Al Jazeera alone says forces reclaim Dhubab and key positions, while The Independent uniquely frames the story as Saudi-backed forces seizing the strait. Axios emphasizes a counteroffensive and quotes the presidential council head, and the Associated Press centers video of government forces fighting near the strait.
