Houthi rebels in Yemen claimed responsibility for a drone and missile attack on a Saudi military base in the southern province of Sharurah. The strike targeted weapons depots and command centers, according to Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea. The attack comes as fighting between Houthi forces and Yemeni government troops intensifies, forcing thousands of civilians to flee their homes.
The conflict has led to a significant humanitarian crisis, with over 2,000 people escaping to neighboring Djibouti. The United Nations reported the exodus as part of the ongoing violence that has displaced many in the region. Meanwhile, Iran’s leaders are set to meet with Gulf Arab states to discuss control over key waterways, raising concerns about the broader regional implications of the conflict.
Iran-backed Houthi forces have been advancing in Yemen, with reports of new attacks on Saudi Arabia. The situation has prompted diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions, but the war continues to escalate, affecting both local populations and international relations. The humanitarian impact remains severe, with civilians caught in the crossfire of a complex and ongoing conflict.
