Saudi Arabia’s Cabinet reaffirmed its full support for Yemen’s internationally recognized government as fighting intensified against the Iran-backed Houthis. The decision came after the Houthis launched a ballistic missile at Saudi Arabia’s Khamis Mushait city, which was intercepted by the Saudi-led coalition. The attack occurred amid ongoing tensions in the region, with the Houthis accused of escalating hostilities instead of pursuing peace. The Cabinet, chaired by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Riyadh, emphasized its commitment to restoring Yemen’s state institutions and condemned the group’s actions as undermining stability. The missile strike highlighted the continued conflict between Yemen’s government and the Houthis, who have been backed by Iran. The Saudi-led coalition has been conducting military operations in Yemen since 2015, aiming to counter Houthi advances. The latest attack has raised concerns about the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the country, where civilians have been caught in the crossfire. The Houthis have previously accused the Saudi-led coalition of causing widespread destruction, while the coalition maintains that its actions are necessary to restore peace and security. The situation remains volatile, with both sides continuing to exchange accusations and military moves. The international community has called for a peaceful resolution to the conflict, which has already claimed thousands of lives and displaced millions. The latest developments underscore the complexity of the situation and the challenges facing efforts to achieve lasting peace in Yemen.
