Saudi Arabia launched more than 90 attacks in Yemen in 24 hours, Houthis claim - report
Reuters also reported Friday that Saudi Arabia is preparing an offensive against the Houthis to break the chokehold and secure the shipping routes in the Red Sea.
Saudi Arabia executed over 90 airstrikes in Yemen within a 24-hour period, according to Houthi military spokesman Yahya Sarie, as reported on Friday by Ynet. The assaults targeted civilian locations in various provinces, causing fatalities and injuries. The coalition led by Saudi Arabia stated they intercepted and destroyed three Houthi missiles heading toward southern Saudi city Khamis Mushait.
Nonetheless, tensions between the nations remain tense, with the Houthis declaring they would target bridges in retaliation for the Saudi attacks. The Saudi military allegedly carried out these attacks on Yemeni bridges and other civilian infrastructure, despite claiming they were missile launch platforms. Saudi Arabia is also reportedly preparing an offensive to regain control of the coast and secure Red Sea shipping routes, which could commence in the coming weeks. This operation would be led by Yemeni forces, overseen by Riyadh and backed by Saudi airstrikes.
