The Yemeni Foreign Ministry has condemned Houthi attacks on Saudi airports, following a ballistic missile launch targeting the city of Khamis Mushait in Saudi Arabia. The missile was intercepted by the Saudi-led coalition. The attack marks another escalation in the ongoing conflict between Yemen’s Houthi rebels and Saudi Arabia’s military coalition.
The Saudi Cabinet, chaired by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, reaffirmed its full support for Yemen’s internationally recognized government and the Presidential Leadership Council. The Cabinet accused the Houthis of prioritizing military action over peace efforts, emphasizing their role in deepening the humanitarian crisis in Yemen. The statement comes as fighting intensifies in the region, with the Houthis increasingly targeting Saudi infrastructure.
The conflict in Yemen has been ongoing since 2015, when a Saudi-led coalition intervened to support the Yemeni government against Houthi rebels. The war has caused widespread destruction and a severe humanitarian crisis, with millions of people in need of aid. The Houthis, backed by Iran, have been accused of launching numerous attacks on Saudi territory, while the Saudi-led coalition has responded with airstrikes and missile strikes. The latest incident underscores the continued volatility of the situation, with both sides accusing each other of escalating hostilities.
