Yemen’s Houthis claim attack on base in Saudi Arabia, which reports 2 hurt by projectile

Houthi fighters in Yemen claimed they used drones and missiles to attack a military base in southern Saudi Arabia. The attack targeted the Sharurah base, specifically hitting weapons depots and command and control centres that manage what the Houthis describe as aggression against their nation and people.

The Houthi military spokesman, Yahya Saree, announced the attack on social media, though the date of the operation was not specified. According to Saudi Arabia's Civil Defense Agency, two people were wounded in the Saudi port city of Jizan due to an explosion from a projectile.

Clashes have increased between the Iran-allied Houthis and Yemeni government forces, which are backed by Riyadh. The Yemeni military reported air strikes against Houthi positions in the Taiz region.
