Houthi militants have launched missile and drone attacks against Saudi Arabian oil facilities and a city, signaling an escalation in regional conflict. The Iran-backed group claimed responsibility for striking a Saudi oil refinery, with reports also indicating an attack on a Saudi city.
These Houthi actions follow a period where Iran reported its first night without new U.S. strikes. In response to the Houthi aggression, the Saudi military conducted strikes against Houthi targets within Yemen. The Houthis stated their attacks were a response to previous strikes on Hodeida.
This exchange of fire comes as the broader conflict, described by some as a US-Iran war, appears to widen to the Red Sea, with Houthis also targeting Red Sea shipping. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
