Houthi rebels in Yemen have claimed responsibility for attacks on Saudi and Yemeni airports, according to multiple reports. The attacks occurred as tensions between the Saudi-led coalition and the Iran-backed rebels continue to rise. The Houthi group stated that they launched missiles and drones targeting military facilities in Saudi Arabia, including airports.
Saudi forces intercepted Houthi missiles aimed at Riyadh and Khamis Mushait, according to local media. The attacks come amid renewed fighting in Yemen, with government forces advancing against the Houthis. The Saudi-led coalition is reportedly working to reverse Houthi territorial gains.
The conflict in Yemen has been ongoing since 2015, when the Saudi-led coalition intervened to support the government against the Houthis. The war has caused widespread humanitarian crises, with millions of people in need of aid. Recent clashes have intensified as both sides continue to fight for control of key areas.
The Houthi attacks on Saudi infrastructure mark another escalation in the conflict, which has drawn international attention. The situation remains volatile, with both sides accusing each other of targeting civilian areas. The humanitarian impact continues to grow, with aid organizations warning of worsening conditions.
