Saudi Arabia announced that Houthi rebels launched coordinated attempts to strike numerous infrastructure sites, including airports, ports, and oil facilities across Saudi Arabia. Saudi officials stated that regional actors assisted the Houthis in acquiring advanced weaponry, such as ballistic missiles and drones used in the recent assaults. In response to the intensifying attacks, Saudi forces launched counter-offensive operations, destroying dozens of weapons storage depots and launch platforms in Yemen. The escalating aerial campaign has prompted commercial airlines to alter routes, while Houthi spokespersons issued reciprocal warnings declaring Saudi airspace unsafe. The latest cross-border strikes reflect a sharp deterioration in regional stability, threatening international energy corridors and stalling peace efforts in Yemen.
