Houthis say they targeted Saudi capital with ballistic missiles
Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen say they launched attacks against Saudi Arabia amid escalating tensions in the Middle East. CBS News' Holly Williams has more. CBS News 24/7 is the premier anchored streaming news service from CBS News and Stations that is available free to everyone with access to

What the coverage shows
Most outlets frame the story as an escalation involving Houthi strikes on Saudi Arabia and the wider regional response, with Reuters, CNN, and 60 Minutes emphasizing the broader Middle East consequences. BBC News is the only outlet here to foreground the reported strike at Riyadh airport and Saudi Arabia’s claim that it shot down a missile aimed at the capital. Associated Press instead focuses on a Houthi official warning other countries against joining Saudi Arabia, which is not a main feature of the other extracts.
