Houthis Strike Saudi Arabia Amid Escalating Conflict in Yemen
The Saudi-led coalition launched four airstrikes on Yemen's northeastern Marib province, targeting Al-Jubah district in the southern part of the oil-rich region. The Houthi-run al-Masirah TV reported no immediate casualties or damage.
The airstrikes came hours after the Houthis claimed large-scale missile and drone attacks on neighboring Saudi Arabia. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea vowed that the group would continue operations 'deep inside Saudi territory.'
Saudi authorities said the Houthi attacks targeted civilian and economic facilities in Abha, Khamis Mushait, Jazan, and Najran, injuring 73 people, including women and children. The Saudi Energy Ministry reported fires broke out and operations at some energy facilities were temporarily halted.
