Saudi Arabia reports incoming fire as Egypt weighs sending help
Saudi Arabia has faced sustained attacks on oil facilities and transit hubs, while the Houthis claim recent Saudi strikes have killed and wounded 'numerous' people.
Saudi Arabia reported intercepting a fresh wave of incoming drones on Saturday, as Egypt weighed sending assistance to defend against repeated attacks from Yemen's Houthis. The Iranian-backed group claimed that Saudi strikes over the past day had resulted in numerous casualties. Since the Yemen conflict reignited in July, Saudi Arabia has faced ongoing Houthi missile and drone assaults on its oil facilities, tankers, and transit hubs, including an attack on Riyadh's airport that killed 13 individuals.
Egypt, a member of the coalition, pledged to take any measure to protect Saudi Arabia if requested, emphasizing that the goal is defense, not intervention in regional conflicts.
