In Yemen, the Houthi media reported that Saudi strikes on Thursday claimed the life of one civilian and targeted three telecommunications towers in Taiz province. Abs town experienced additional strikes, resulting in one injury. On Wednesday, Riyadh accused the Houthis of a "cowardly" assault on Makkah, a claim the group denied.
Since seizing control of strategic coastal areas, the Houthis have reported multiple Saudi strikes daily. Saudi Arabia's latest territorial gains underscore the influence of Iran and its allies over the critical Bab al-Mandeb strait, which is vital for international oil trade. The fragile 2022 ceasefire between the Houthis and Yemeni government collapsed in July after the group allowed an Iranian plane to land in Sanaa, leading to a series of attacks. The conflict has displaced over 100,000 individuals, according to the United Nations.
