Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia wound 73 people, officials say
On Tuesday, Iran-backed Houthis launched a wave of attacks on Saudi Arabia, wounding at least 73 civilians in Abha, Khamis Mushait, Jazan, and Najran, the Saudi-led Coalition Forces reported.
This escalation shatters a four-year de facto ceasefire between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia; the rebel group began launching attacks toward the kingdom in July after declaring a naval blockade against Riyadh.
Major General Turki Al-Maliki, Saudi-led Coalition Forces spokesman, described the strikes as "senseless," vowing the coalition will "take all necessary operational measures" to deter the militia targeting civilian and economic sites.
Houthi-Run media aired footage Monday alleging a Saudi airstrike hit a prison in northern Yemen, killing seven people, while claiming their ongoing response is broader than what circulates on social media.
The Financial Times reported Monday that Aramco's Jazan oil facilities were hit, underscoring risks to global energy supplies as the targeting of economic infrastructure marks a significant escalation in the yearslong civil war.
The conflict between the Huthis and Saudi Arabia seems to continue to escalate. According to mutual attacks, there are reports of dozens of injured and dead. Saudi Arabian oil plants on the Red Sea are also affected.
