The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen reported that 73 people, including women and children, were injured in attacks launched by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis on Saudi Arabia. According to the coalition, the Houthis targeted civilian and economic sites in the cities of Abha, Khamis Mushait, Jazan, and Najran.

The coalition's spokesperson, Turki al-Maliki, stated that the attacks were a "dangerous escalation" and a "flagrant violation" of the kingdom's sovereignty, posing a direct threat to public safety. He vowed that the coalition would respond firmly to the assaults and take necessary operational measures to deter the Houthis.

The attacks were described as a continued deliberate targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure, in violation of international humanitarian law and international law, by the coalition. The incident is part of an ongoing conflict between the Saudi-led coalition and the Houthis, who control much of northern Yemen.
