Houthi attacks on Saudi oil sites and airports disrupt flights and trigger retaliatory strikes

Houthis claim attacks on Saudi airports and military bases as DG ISPR confirms Pakistani troop presence in Saudi Arabia
Most outlets reported the Houthis' claimed attacks on Saudi airports and military bases, with some also noting the number of casualties and material damage. A few outlets, particularly The Express Tribune and 24 News HD, included both the Houthi attacks and the confirmation of Pakistani troop presence in Saudi Arabia. Coverage of the Pakistani military presence was largely framed as a longstanding and routine deployment, with several outlets quoting DG ISPR's statements about troops being stationed in Saudi Arabia "for decades" and in "multiple capabilities." The framing of the Houthi attacks varied slightly, with some outlets emphasizing the intensity of the conflict in Yemen and others focusing more on the claimed targets and the lack of immediate Saudi confirmation.
