Houthi Attacks on Saudi Arabia Injure 73, Target Energy Facilities
Houthi rebels from Yemen launched attacks on southern Saudi Arabia, targeting civilian and economic sites including energy facilities in Abha, Jazan, Najran, and Khamis Mushait. The strikes caused fires, temporarily halted operations, and injured at least 73 people, including women and children. Saudi Arabia's coalition condemned the attacks as a dangerous escalation and vowed a firm response. The conflict follows renewed fighting in Yemen and a Houthi-declared naval blockade against Riyadh, raising concerns over regional stability and energy security.
