Houthis Claim Missile and Drone Attack on Saudi King Khalid Air Base
Yemen's Houthi group claimed a large-scale missile and drone attack on Saudi Arabia's King Khalid Air Base in Khamis Mushait, targeting military facilities including aircraft hangars, radars, and ammunition depots. The Houthis said the strikes caused significant damage but Saudi authorities have not confirmed this. The attack was described as retaliation for over 300 Saudi airstrikes in Yemen. The Houthis warned of continued and potentially broader attacks if Saudi operations persist amid escalating conflict along the Yemen-Saudi border.
