UAE voices full support for Saudi Arabia after Houthi attack attempt
The UAE condemned a Houthi attempt to target Saudi regions, calling it a violation of sovereignty, and affirmed its unwavering support for Saudi security.
SANAA: The death toll from Saudi strikes in Yemen's Sanaa province has risen to 44, according to the Houthis, with over 20 of the victims being children. The 2022 truce that had halted the conflict in Yemen's ongoing war ended in July, resuming hostilities between the Houthis and the Saudi-backed government. Saudi Arabia has engaged in conflict with the Houthis, who have targeted Saudi airports, energy facilities, and military installations.
The toll from the Saudi forces' attack in the Alshariyah area of Bani Hushaysh, located east of Sanaa, has increased to 84 casualties: 44 killed and 40 injured. The Houthis' health ministry reported that 21 of the dead were children and 10 were women. Rescue efforts are ongoing to locate those missing. This toll follows the Houthis' claim on Sunday of an assault on Riyadh's financial district, with witnesses observing damage to an Aramco skyscraper.
The United Nations estimates that over 1,600 people have been killed and more than 300,000 displaced since fighting resumed in Yemen.
