Saudi Arabia: 13 civilians injured in Houthi strikes overnight

Saudi Arabia reported that 13 civilians were injured in Houthi attacks on the cities of Khamis Mushait, Abha, and Taif. According to Arutz Sheva - Israel National News, seven homes and two vehicles were also damaged in the attacks.

The Houthi rebels have been engaged in renewed fighting with Saudi-backed government forces since Yemen's civil war reignited. Free Malaysia Today reported that the group claimed a large-scale attack using dozens of ballistic missiles and drones against the King Khalid airbase in Khamis Mushait, in southern Saudi Arabia. A resident of Khamis Mushait told AFP that they heard intense blasts which left fires burning for a long time.

Saudi Arabia warned that it will react firmly to the Houthi attacks. The Saudi-led coalition also reported advances in Al-Jawf Governorate, near the Saudi border, with government forces approaching the city of Al-Hazm. Airstrikes were reported against Houthi targets in several governorates, including Al-Mokha, Taiz, Lahij, and Al-Dhale.
