Saudi Airstrikes in Yemen and Houthi Missile Attacks Escalate Regional Conflict
Saudi forces launched airstrikes on Yemen's Houthi-controlled capital Sanaa and surrounding areas, reportedly killing 11 to 16 civilians, including women and children. The Iran-backed Houthis claimed missile and drone attacks on multiple Saudi targets, including airports, oil facilities, and military bases in Riyadh, Yanbu, Dammam, and Aden. Saudi-led coalition forces reported intercepting several missiles fired by the Houthis toward Saudi cities. The renewed fighting marks an escalation after a ceasefire since 2022, intensifying regional tensions linked to the broader Middle East conflict.
