Houthis Fire Missiles and Drones at Saudi Arabia After Strikes on Hodeida

Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis said they fired missiles and drones at Saudi Arabia in response to Saudi airstrikes on the Red Sea city of Hodeida. The group’s military spokesman claimed the attacks targeted facilities in Saudi cities Yanbu and Jizan associated with Aramco, while Saudi civil defense reported alerts in both locations. The escalation follows Saudi strikes in Hodeida after Houthi action against Saudi-linked shipping, raising concerns for vital maritime routes like the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
