Yemen's fighting intensified overnight, with Saudi Arabia issuing emergency alerts for Riyadh and Al-Kharj. Tens of thousands rallied in Sanaa, supporting the Houthis and opposing Saudi Arabia. The United Nations reported that over 112,000 people had been displaced in Yemen over the past two weeks, facing multiple health risks. The European Union condemned Houthi attacks, deeming them "unacceptable" and hindering global economy.
The coalition formed to protect international waterways expressed concerns over the escalating violence. US President Donald Trump extended sanctions on Iran through the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026. The humanitarian situation in Yemen worsened as fighting spread in western Yemen, spurring crowds in Sanaa to demonstrate against Saudi Arabia.
