The attack adds to years of cross-border strikes linked to the war in Yemen, where a Saudi-led coalition has been fighting Houthi rebels since 2015 in a conflict that has drawn repeated missile and drone attacks on Saudi cities, airports and oil facilities.

Both reports agree on the central facts — that the UN and EU condemned the attack, and that 12 people were killed — with Channels TV adding that over 300 were wounded, citing aviation authorities. Neither outlet has detailed Saudi Arabia's planned response, the Houthis' stated justification for the strike, or how the incident might affect ongoing ceasefire and peace efforts in Yemen.
