Saudi and Houthi Forces Exchange Strikes Amid Renewed Yemen Conflict
Saudi Arabia and Yemen's Houthi rebels have escalated hostilities, with Saudi forces launching deadly airstrikes on Houthi-controlled areas including Sanaa and Mocha, reportedly killing civilians. The Saudi-led coalition intercepted multiple missiles and drones launched by the Houthis targeting Saudi cities such as Riyadh, Taif, Yanbu, and Dammam. The conflict, dormant since 2022, reignited in July amid broader regional tensions. Both sides have reported casualties and damage, with warnings issued to civilians in affected areas.
