Saudi Arabia Celebrates National Day Amid Ongoing Houthi Attacks

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia's capital, celebrated National Day on September 24th. The city was decked in green, the official color of the kingdom, with lights and flags prominently displayed.

The celebrations come at a challenging time for Saudi Arabia, as it faces increased attacks from the Houthi rebels across the Arabian Peninsula.

Saudi National Day is meant to commemorate the founding of the modern state in 1932. The day's festivities aim to promote national unity and pride among Saudis.

However, one analyst noted that Saudi Arabia is being 'squeezed' on both sides due to its efforts to keep critical oil exports flowing.
