Saudi Arabia issues warnings throughout kingdom amid clashes with Houthis

Houthi authorities report that Saudi-led coalition strikes on Al-Shariya village, located east of Sanaa, killed 33 people and wounded 39. Houthi health ministry spokesman Anees Alasbahi stated the deceased include 12 men, 8 women, and 13 children, while the injured consist of 16 men, 10 women, and 13 children. The Saba news agency reported that aircraft targeted paramedics with two strikes and that recovery operations from rubble were ongoing. Al-Masirah TV broadcast footage of smoke, debris, and wounded people in a hospital at the site.

The United Nations reports that more than 1,600 people have been killed and over 300,000 displaced since fighting resumed in the country in July. While the Saudi-led coalition stated it intercepted and destroyed a Houthi missile launched toward Riyadh province, Saudi Arabia has not commented on the reports of strikes in Al-Shariya.

In Saudi Arabia, the Civil Defence issued brief alerts in the southwestern cities of Jizan and Najran regarding a "potential danger," though it noted the danger had passed in Najran City. The Times of Israel reported that Riyadh gave an all-clear after alerts were activated in multiple areas, including Dhahran.
