What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover or tap one to see who reported it.
Oct 3 - A large plume of smoke and fire was seen rising in the vicinity of an Aramco facility in Riyadh on Saturday, a witness told Reuters.
Houthi-affiliated Al-Masirah TV reported that Saudi aircraft hit Sanaa with 26 strikes, after earlier reporting “Saudi aggression” against the Yemeni capital, without providing details on the targets or casualties.
After several years of calm, Yemen was plunged back into civil war that month, pitting the Iran-backed Houthis, who control most of north-west Yemen including Sanaa, against Yemen’s internationally recognised government.
The foes have traded strikes since the Houthis seized all of Yemen’s Red Sea coast and took control of the Bab al-Mandab strait in a lightning offensive.

Quoted from the coverage (4)
Two correspondents in Sanaa reported hearing loud explosions and seeing warplanes firing missiles on the city.
The government, based in the city of Aden, controls much of the country’s south and east – a region that is larger but much less populated.
Hostilities were reignited after four years of a fragile truce when Iran sent a plane to Sanaa carrying a Houthi delegation.
The flight did not seek authorisation from Saudi Arabia, contravening a practice in place for a decade.
