  "summary": "Yemen's Houthis said Saudi Arabia launched over 50 strikes against their positions in 24 hours. According to Yayha Saree, the group's military spokesman, 58 airstrikes were carried out by Saudi aviation in the past 24 hours. The Houthis have been engaged in renewed fighting with Saudi-backed government forces since Yemen's civil war reignited in July.\n\nThe latest clashes follow a week-long Houthi offensive that resulted in the group capturing Yemen's Red Sea coast, giving them control of the Bab al-Mandab Strait. This waterway is a vital route for Saudi oil exports, especially with the Strait of Hormuz closed due to the US-Iran war. The Houthis carried out a rare drone and missile attack on a military base in Saudi Arabia, setting oil sites ablaze and wounding 73 people.\n\nThe Houthis' Almasirah TV channel reported that Saudi aviation carried out strikes on Saada, a Houthi stronghold, and a market in the northern Al-Jawf province. There were also reports of artillery fire in the border district of Monabbih.",
