Yemen's Houthi rebels launched a drone and missile attack on a military base in southern Saudi Arabia, targeting weapons depots and command centers, according to Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea. The strike occurred amid renewed fighting with Yemeni government forces, prompting a surge in civilian displacement.
The attack marks another escalation in the ongoing conflict between Houthi rebels and Saudi Arabia, with both sides reporting heavy fighting in key areas. Saudi Arabia has issued emergency alerts in regions like Khamis Mushait and Abha, where government forces are engaged in intense clashes with advancing Houthi rebels.
Pakistan has expressed solidarity with Saudi Arabia, though no military support has been pledged yet. The Houthi attacks have raised security concerns, particularly as they threaten Saudi oil exports through the Red Sea. Analysts warn that the situation could further destabilize the region and impact global energy markets.
Saudi Arabia continues to face mounting challenges, including threats to its oil infrastructure and regional security. The conflict remains a critical point of tension, with both sides accusing each other of escalating hostilities.
