Houthis Launch Second Day of Missile and Drone Attacks on Southern Saudi Cities
Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi rebels launched ballistic missile and drone attacks on three southern Saudi cities—Abha, Khamis Mushait, and Jazan—for a second consecutive day, injuring 73 people and damaging oil facilities. The Saudi-led coalition condemned the strikes as attacks on national assets and civilians, pledging a responsible response. The escalation follows renewed fighting in Yemen after a 2022 UN-brokered truce, with Saudi-backed forces launching offensives against Houthi-held areas amid ongoing regional tensions involving Iran and Saudi Arabia.
