Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan has stated that the kingdom will not hesitate to defend itself against ongoing attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels. At least 73 civilians, including women and children, were injured in the latest escalation by the Iran-aligned militia. The Houthis targeted energy sector sites in four Saudi cities, causing fires, injuries and halting operations.
The attacks have driven up oil prices, with Brent crude nearing $100 a barrel. The Houthis claim the strikes are in response to Saudi-led attacks on several Yemeni provinces this week and threaten further harsher and wider strikes unless Saudi Arabia stops. The kingdom's neighbors, including the UAE, Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Kuwait and Qatar, have all condemned the attacks.
The International Committee of the Red Cross warned that the escalation risks further conflict and exacerbating the already devastating humanitarian situation in Yemen.
