Saudi-led coalition reportedly targets oil facilities near Sanaa, with another strike reported in Hodeidah; Houthis threaten retaliation against Aramco facilities and Riyadh airport, while dramatic videos show desert fighting between rebels and Saudi-backed forces
The Saudi-led coalition has released video footage showing strikes on alleged Houthi weapons-smuggling activities along Yemen's Red Sea coast. The coalition further announced the destruction of two ballistic missile launchers in Saada Governorate and intercepted a ballistic missile, two cruise missiles, and three drones. According to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), the footage depicts strikes aimed at Houthi smuggling operations in the target of the militia's maritime weapons-smuggling network.
The coalition's official spokesperson, Major General Turki Al Malki, confirmed the destruction of the launchers amidst reports of several aerial threats towards Saudi Arabia and the Red Sea. In addition, the coalition intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile launched towards Yanbu, a Red Sea coast port city, and two cruise missiles over the Red Sea and three drones in the southern and Riyadh regions.
Saudi Arabia's Civil Defence lifted an early warning alert for Jazan province, urging residents to follow safety instructions, avoid incident sites, and refrain from filming. The alert followed earlier warnings for Khamis Mushait and Yanbu, a port city on the Red Sea coast. These developments come amid escalating regional tensions, heightening concerns over the security of Saudi Arabia's strategic locations and maritime routes.
