Yemen Conflict Escalates as Government Forces Clash with Houthis Along Red Sea

The conflict in Yemen has intensified as government forces launched attacks against Iran-backed Houthi rebels along the Red Sea. The Houthis, who have been supported by Saudi Arabia and backed by Iran, fired into neighboring Saudi Arabia, targeting a military base near the border with Yemen.

According to Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the Houthi's military spokesperson, they used drones and missiles to target Saudi Arabia. However, there is no evidence provided to support this claim, and it is unclear when the attack occurred.

The Saudi civil defense reported that a projectile fell near the border with Yemen along the Red Sea, injuring two people and damaging buildings in the area. The Houthis have been targeting Saudi oil infrastructure and shipping as part of their recently declared blockade.
