The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen reported that 73 people, comprising women and children, were injured following attacks carried out by Houthi insurgents in the cities of Abha, Khamis Mushait, Jazan, and Najran. Turki al-Maliki, a spokesperson for the coalition, made the announcement through a statement posted on X. He expressed the coalition's firm intention to respond to the assaults.

Al-Maliki emphasized that the escalation by the terrorist Houthi militia and their attempts to target the Kingdom, its national assets, citizens, and residents on its lands signify a dangerous escalation. He stressed that this highlights the hostile and irresponsible approach of this terrorist militia. Al-Maliki pointed out that the attacks violated the Kingdom's sovereignty and directly threatened public safety.

The Coalition's Joint Forces Command, according to al-Maliki, would take all necessary operational measures to deter the Houthis and neutralize incoming threats.
