Saudi Arabia carried out two strikes on Saada in northern Yemen, a stronghold for the Houthi group, according to reports from Houthi media. The Almasirah TV channel also reported artillery fire in the border district of Monabbih, in the same province.
The strikes come amid escalating tensions in the region. The Houthis have recently captured a key port city and an island on the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a crucial shipping route, which has alarmed markets and Yemeni civilians.
The UN has warned of rising displacement in Yemen as Houthi escalation continues in the western coast and southern Taiz regions. According to Middle East Eye, Saudi Arabia's civil defence agency sent alerts warning of potential attacks in two regions bordering Yemen, which were quickly lifted.
