> Houthi-linked media accused Saudi Arabia of “aggression” on Saturday after loud explosions were heard in Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, which is controlled by the Iran-backed rebel group. The Houthis had earlier alleged that Saudi Arabia bombed Sanaa for the first time since fighting between the sides resumed in July.
