Houthis and Saudi Arabia Exchange Attacks Amid Escalating Yemen Conflict
The Yemen conflict continues with intensified fighting along the western coast near the strategic Bab al-Mandeb strait. The Iran-backed Houthi group claims to have shot down a Saudi-operated Turkish-made reconnaissance drone and threatens to target Saudi infrastructure amid ongoing Saudi airstrikes. Saudi Arabia has increased defenses near the Yemeni border in response to missile and drone threats. Yemen's internationally recognized government disputes Houthi claims, while concerns grow over maritime security and global shipping in the region.
