Houthis and Saudi Arabia Exchange Attacks Amid Escalating Yemen Conflict
Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels have intensified attacks on Saudi Arabia, targeting airports, oil facilities, and military sites in Riyadh, Dammam, Yanbu, and other locations. Saudi Arabia's coalition intercepted ballistic missiles aimed at Taif and Yanbu and issued temporary security alerts. In response, Saudi forces launched airstrikes on Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen, including the capital Sanaa and Aden, resulting in civilian casualties. Both sides report ongoing hostilities amid a broader regional conflict involving Iran and its allies.
