- Houthis launched ballistic missile attacks on al-Makha and Marib in Yemen, per Al Jazeera's headline.
- Yemeni military says the Houthi attack on Mocha — al-Makha — killed 7 and wounded 30, per Reuters.
- CNN frames the fighting in Yemen as linked to the broader Iran war, according to its headline accompanying the coverage.
Why it matters: Seven killed and thirty wounded in a single Mocha strike confirms the Houthis' continued ability to inflict heavy casualties on Yemeni population centers. Coverage from Al Jazeera, Reuters, and CNN converging on the same event suggests the group remains operationally active and that outlets are linking the attacks to the wider regional war.
