Yemen's Houthis launch missiles at Saudi Arabia after strikes on Sanaa airport

Yemen's Houthis launched missiles at Abha airport in Saudi Arabia on Monday, claiming the attack was in response to Saudi-led coalition airstrikes on Sanaa's airport. The Saudi-led coalition stated its defenses intercepted the missiles without casualties. The Houthis accuse Saudi Arabia of 'blatant aggression,' alleging the strikes targeted the runway of Sanaa's airport. The Yemeni government claims it conducted the strikes to prevent an Iranian plane from landing, following a dispute over a Houthi delegation's flight from Iran. This marks a significant escalation in the conflict between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia, which had been relatively dormant since a truce four years ago. The ongoing conflict, which began in 2014, has caused massive civilian casualties and a severe humanitarian crisis, with over 22 million people requiring aid. Both sides blame each other for the attacks, with the Houthis warning of further retaliation.

Bias read (Center): The article presents both sides of the conflict fairly, quoting statements from the Houthis, the Saudi-led coalition, and the Yemeni government. It provides context about the historical background of the conflict and the humanitarian impact without taking a clear ideological stance. The framing is客观
