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 militants launched a series of missile and drone attacks on the port city of Mocha in Yemen, resulting in multiple casualties. The Yemeni military reported that a recent assault killed seven people, including four soldiers and three civilians, and wounded 30 others. These figures follow an earlier wave of attacks on Sunday that killed at least 11 people, consisting of eight military personnel and three civilians, and wounded 32 others. Government forces stated that the attacks targeted residential neighborhoods, electricity stations, and civilian infrastructure, while also noting the interception of 11 drones and an unmanned explosive boat. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree claimed the operations targeted Saudi troop concentrations and weapon depots in response to a Saudi military buildup. Additional reports indicate the escalation extended to the al-Khokha district, where a ballistic missile struck the residence of the governor of Hodeidah. In a separate incident, the Houthis claimed to have targeted a Saudi Aramco oil refinery in Jazan, which Saudi Arabia's energy ministry confirmed had experienced a fire that was subsequently brought under control.
