Houthis Report Saudi Strikes After Targeting Oil Facilities in Renewed Yemen Fighting
Source Summary
The Houthis reported that Saudi Arabia launched retaliatory strikes on Tuesday following Houthi attacks on oil facilities that wounded dozens. The escalation marks a renewal of deadly fighting in Yemen, including a Houthi offensive toward the Bab al-Mandab chokepoint in the Red Sea. This rapid cycle of strikes follows the collapse of a four-year truce between the Houthis and the Saudi-backed government in July.
