Iran-Backed Houthis Launch Missile and Drone Attacks on Southern Saudi Cities
Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched missile and drone attacks on southern Saudi cities including Abha, Khamis Mushait, and Jazan for a second consecutive day. The strikes targeted Aramco facilities, an airport, and an airbase, causing fires and injuring 73 people, including civilians. Saudi-led coalition condemned the attacks and vowed to respond to protect national assets. The escalation follows renewed fighting in Yemen between Houthis and Saudi-backed forces after a 2022 truce.
