> Yemen’s Houthis claimed they attacked the main airport in Saudi Arabia’s capital while denying on Tuesday that government forces had taken territory from them as fighting intensified. Government forces, after announcing a counter-offensive, said they had driven the Houthis from the Bab al-Mandab area and the port city of Mocha, which was captured last month.
