Houthis Launch Attacks on Saudi Arabia as Trump Rejects Iran Ceasefire Proposal
Saudi-backed coalition forces intercepted two drones and a ballistic missile launched by Yemen's Houthis toward Riyadh and the southern border area of Khamis Mushait, with air raid alerts issued in multiple Saudi regions. These attacks coincide with US President Donald Trump's rejection of a seven-day ceasefire proposal from Iran amid ongoing negotiations and expectations to resume military actions after the US midterm elections. The conflict reflects stalled efforts to resolve tensions between Tehran and Washington, including disputes over Iran's nuclear program and maritime embargoes.
