  "summary": "The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen reported that Houthi forces launched attacks on three Saudi Arabian cities: Khamis Mushait, Abha, and Jazan, using ballistic missiles and drones. The coalition's spokesman stated that the Houthi militia continues to carry out attacks on the Kingdom's national assets and infrastructure.\n\nAccording to Hellenic Shipping News, the Houthi attacks targeted Abha International Airport, King Khalid Air Base, and Aramco facilities, resulting in 73 injuries and temporary shutdowns at oil sites. The attacks prompted Saudi Arabia to launch strikes on Taiz and Marib provinces.\n\nThe situation in Yemen has been deteriorating, with hundreds of deaths reported in recent days as the Houthis attempt to capture land at the mouth of the Red Sea from the forces of the internationally-recognised government.",
