Houthi Militia Launches Barrage of Missiles at Saudi Capital and Oil Facilities
The Houthi militia in Yemen has escalated its conflict with Saudi Arabia by launching a barrage of missiles and drones at the kingdom's capital, Riyadh, and its oil facilities. This marks a significant escalation in the renewed war between the kingdom and the Iranian-backed group.
On Saturday, the Houthi militia announced that it had attacked Saudi Arabia's capital and oil facilities with a barrage of missiles and drones, marking a major escalation in the conflict. The attack is seen as a huge escalation of the conflict, with the kingdom confirming that Houthi rebels tried to attack its capital with a ballistic missile.
This is the first time Riyadh has been targeted by the Houthi militia since the escalation in fighting between the two groups. The renewed war between Saudi Arabia and the Iranian-backed group has opened a new front in the Iran War, raising concerns about the stability of the region.
