Houthis Target Saudi Base as Iran Denies Involvement in Yemen War
- The Iran-backed Houthi group claimed Monday that it carried out a large-scale ballistic missile and drone attack on King Khalid Air Base in southern Saudi Arabia, targeting military infrastructure including hangars and runways.
- Responding to what the Houthi fighters described as more than 300 Saudi airstrikes across Yemen during the previous five days, the group threatened additional operations inside Saudi territory if strikes continue.
- Simultaneously, the Houthi group expanded control over strategic islands along the Red Sea, capturing Greater Hanish and Lesser Hanish—two islands roughly 160 kilometers north of the Mandab Strait.
- The group claimed significant damage to the base, while a previous attack in the region wounded more than 70 people and caused fires at Saudi oil facilities, according to authorities.
- Government forces backed by Saudi Arabia attempted to regroup and launch a counteroffensive following the Houthi advances along the Red Sea coast, as the conflict enters a period of escalation.
