> 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. The government said its counter-offensive had driven the group from the Bab al-Mandab area and Mocha port, which it captured last month, as fighting intensified.
