Houthi rebels in Yemen have launched an attack on a military base in southern Saudi Arabia, according to reports. The strike, which used drones and missiles, targeted weapons depots and command centers, as per a statement from Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea. The attack comes amid ongoing clashes between Houthi forces and Yemeni government troops, leading to increased civilian displacement.
The assault follows a series of Houthi attacks on Saudi infrastructure, which have disrupted oil exports and regional stability. Saudi Arabia is facing growing challenges in maintaining its energy supply, with rebels targeting key ports and supply routes. The country has only enough oil reserves to last seven days, according to UK media reports, highlighting the severity of the situation.
International reactions have been swift, with leaders condemning the attacks. Prime Minister Shehbaz of Pakistan expressed solidarity with Saudi Arabia, warning that the conflict threatens regional peace and global energy security. The situation remains volatile, with both sides continuing to escalate hostilities.
The conflict continues to strain diplomatic relations and raise concerns about the impact on global markets. As the situation evolves, the international community watches closely for any signs of de-escalation.
