What BBN said about it

  1. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSaudi Arabia says it intercepted Houthi missiles and drones across the kingdom on Tuesday, days after the rebel group struck an airport over the weekend.

  2. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorPresident Trump says the Houthis are behaving very badly, and CBS News is looking at what options he has, from more pressure to a wider military response.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA wider response is the part worth watching, because every option on that list carries a risk of a bigger conflict in the region.
