Houthis Launch Wave of Attacks on Saudi Arabia

The Houthi rebel group in Yemen launched a wave of attacks on Saudi Arabia, wounding over 70 people and igniting fires at oil facilities and utilities.

The attack is a major escalation in renewed fighting between an important U.S. ally and the Iranian proxy group.

Prince Faisal bin Farhan, Saudi Arabia's foreign minister, accused the Houthis of resorting to violence to serve their interests over those of Yemen, despite the Kingdom offering a chance to negotiate for peace.
