Houthis Renew Attacks on Saudi Arabia Amid Truce Breakdown

The Iran-backed Houthi rebels have launched attacks on Saudi Arabia, causing tensions to rise in the region. This development comes after a fragile four-year truce that had halted large-scale fighting ended.

The Houthis seek greater control over Yemen and access to its oil revenues, officials say. They believe renewed confrontation could strengthen their grip over Yemen and give them access to these resources.

Tensions escalated when the Houthis accused Saudi Arabia of striking Sanaa airport. This move was seen as a major escalation by the Houthis, who have been at odds with the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen for years.
