BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Germany's geopolitical framing centers on linking the attack to the Iran-US regional conflict rather than solely focusing on Yemen's internal dynamics

German outlets, such as Tagesschau and FAZ, prefer in-depth analyses over a straightforward, factual count of victims, which is covered more briefly than in other datasets

German media provides limited coverage of detailed Arab and UN reactions, including those from the Arab League and the Security Council, instead emphasizing the Riyadh-Tehran-Washington lens
