Yemen's Houthi rebels have announced a string of attacks on Saudi Arabia, the country they are at war with. These attacks were carried out using ballistic missiles and drones, according to the militia's spokesman Yahya Saree. Targets included King Khalid airport in Riyadh, Aramco facilities in Yanbu and Rabigh, oil pumping stations, and the East-West crude oil pipeline.
Additionally, Houthi forces targeted King Fahd airport in Dammam and Najran airport as well as an airbase in Khamis Mushait, all in southwestern Saudi Arabia. This marks the 100th airstrike in the past 24 hours, in retaliation for Saudi attacks on Yemen. Earlier, the Saudi-led coalition reported intercepting two ballistic missiles fired by the Houthi group towards Taif and Yanbu, as well as a missile targeted at Riyadh, and a drone in the Eastern Province.
However, no casualties or damages were reported. The Houthi-linked media reported deadly airstrikes on Yemen's capital Sana'a, killing and injuring civilians. Reports also emerged of Saudi jets targeting a cement factory in Sana'a, causing casualties. The fighting escalated recently due to a renewed conflict in Yemen, with Saudi Arabia supporting the internationally recognized government and leading a coalition against the Houthis, while the US, Israel and Iran are also involved in the broader war.
