I also look on the internet to have news, but television is a main source of news and should speak about all wars, not just Ukranian war.
Yemen War

Yemen’s president gives up powers, possible step towards peace
Though I am not sure how.
Though I am not sure how.
Yemen’s president says he has sacked his deputy and transferred his own powers to a presidential council, as Saudi Arabia announced billions of dollars in aid and urged him to begin talks with the Houthis to end the country’s devastating war.
“I irreversibly delegate to this presidential leadership council my full powers,” Hadi said in a televised statement early on Thursday, the final day of peace talks held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia’s capital.
Following the announcement, Saudi Arabia said it was arranging $3bn to support the country’s war-ravaged economy.
The country is in the first week of a two-month UN-brokered truce. It is the first nationwide break in hostilities since 2016.
The Houthis, however, are not participating in the Yemen talks.
“The fact that we are turning the page on the past and that all these groups are coming together, and the Saudi aid and investment … the stars are aligning a little on Yemen,” William Lawrence, a political science professor at the American University in Washington, DC told Al Jazeera. “Let’s hope they bear fruit.”
“The announcement that Hadi is ceding his powers to a presidential council made up of key political and military figures with direct roles on the ground is A Big Deal,” Crisis Group analyst Peter Salisbury wrote on Twitter. “Most consequential shift in the inner workings of the anti-Huthi block since war began. How this will actually work in practice will be … complicated to say the least.”

Not even that indirectly, if you include trump aligned mercenaries:
Erik Prince is a former US Navy SEAL who was behind the revival of the private security industry.
He also calls himself ‘Kingfish.’
Notoriously known for Blackwater and his involvement in the Iraq War, he established another private military company called Reflex Responses – or R2 – after he sold Blackwater to investors as an escape from controversy. The UAE secretly hired both companies, Blackwater and R2, to go to Yemen.
“Give me your best man and I’ll beat him. Anyone,” said Abraham Golan, the Israeli-Hungarian owner of Spear Operations Group that has also operated in Yemen to commit targeted assassinations.

*All* wars ?
With Yemen you are talking about an internal war. If you want all wars including all internal wars covered you would need a full time TV channel.

Still any cover of Brazilian media about Yemen War, I don't have any idea how this war is going on.
I wouldn't put any hope in local media covering international events adequately, honestly. As much as I'd like people in my country to be aware of what's going on outside, media orgs do not have unlimited resources, people do not have unlimited attention spans, they're going to report what they think is the best bang for their buck.
Luckily we now have instant access to a lot of news sources local to other countries.

Well if you want to know about something and it's not on your local media you have to make an effort and find out for yourself. It's not a secret.

If the news covered all lands squabbles and wars, it would never actually have time to cover everything. News is new changes.. not.. war still happening. Thats not a new.

How many wars conflicts there are around the world? I don't think it is that much, some countries of the third world shoould appear on the midia when a war starts.
To I discover about the Yemen war was almost an acident, because there is almost any covered by brazilian media about this war.
There's wars on almost every continent, all the time. I don't need a constant reminder.

Possible oil spill disaster off Yemen
The reporter must have been really pleased with the "transfer oil from the Safer to a safe vessel" part!

A few dozen. Depending on what you'd actually call war, Wikipedia lists 6 major wars (10000+ deaths in current or past year), 17 smaller wars (1000+) and 18 minor conflicts (100+). Of course, inclusion of some conflicts is questionable, for example Afghanistan war is still listed as major ongoing war due to active resistance of some factions.
Does the oil it contain not have value. I'm really struggling to see how 80 million is needed for such operation!
They have been fighting about ownership for years. Both sides want the oil, neither will spend any money on making sure the ship does not leak everywhere.
