Saudi-backed Yemeni forces expel the Houthis from several areas around key strait, officials say

What the coverage shows

All six outlets frame the story as a Saudi-backed Yemeni government push against Houthi positions around the Bab el-Mandeb or Bab al-Mandab Strait. The South China Morning Post and France 24 are closest in wording, both emphasizing a “lightning advance” and Houthis being pushed out of areas, while The Guardian US uniquely says the offensive was launched under air cover by the Saudi coalition and aims to retake all Houthi-held territory. Channel 4 News stands out for mentioning attacks on hundreds of Houthi targets and “effective control” of the route, which the other extracts do not say.
