Houthis launched a ballistic missile at Saudi Arabia's Khamis Mushait city, according to Al Jazeera. The missile was intercepted by the Saudi-led coalition. The attack comes amid ongoing tensions in the region.
The Saudi Cabinet reaffirmed its full support for Yemen's government, led by the Presidential Leadership Council, as fighting with the Houthis intensified. The Cabinet, chaired by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Riyadh, emphasized backing efforts to restore Yemen's state institutions. It accused the Houthis of choosing military escalation over peace.
The conflict in Yemen has escalated in recent months, with the Houthis, backed by Iran, intensifying attacks on Saudi and UAE targets. The Saudi-led coalition has responded with airstrikes and missile defenses. The latest incident highlights the continued volatility of the situation. The Houthis have previously launched attacks on Saudi cities, which the coalition has intercepted. The conflict has caused significant humanitarian concerns in Yemen, with aid groups warning of worsening conditions.
