Houthi Attacks on Saudi Arabia Injure 73, Target Energy and Military Sites
Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched missile and drone attacks on southern Saudi Arabia, targeting civilian, military, and energy facilities including Aramco sites, airports, and airbases. The strikes injured at least 73 people and caused fires, temporarily disrupting operations. Saudi Arabia condemned the attacks as a dangerous escalation and vowed a firm response. The violence follows the collapse of a four-year truce and intensifying fighting between the Houthis and Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces, raising regional tensions and concerns over energy security.
