- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Houthi rebels killed at least 30 Yemeni government soldiers in missile and drone attacks targeting military camps in the provinces of Marib and Hadramout. Medical sources cited by one report state the death toll is at least 36, while government sources reported 15 to 50 soldiers were injured. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree claimed the attacks resulted in hundreds of casualties.
Yemeni military sources stated that eight missiles were fired from the al Jawf governorate, targeting al Thiniya and al Abr in Hadramout and al Rouk in Marib. The military framed these events as a response to their own previous attacks on the Houthis. This escalation marks the deadliest military activity in Yemen since a ceasefire began in April 2022.
The Houthi movement, which is allied with Iran, has controlled large parts of the country since a civil war broke out in 2014 between the rebels and the internationally recognized government supported by Saudi Arabia. Recent reports indicate an uptick in violence and a maritime blockade on Saudi Arabia.
