A new report Thursday evening indicates that the Houthi movement struck targets in Saudi Arabia from within Iraqi territory, with explosions heard in the Yemeni capital Sana'a. The report, which does not specify the targets or the timing of the attack, follows a Reuters dispatch earlier Thursday that reported a joint Houthi-Iraqi militia operation against Saudi targets from Iraq. The cause of the explosions in Sana'a remains unconfirmed; they could be related to the attack or to other activity. The reported strikes are part of an ongoing campaign by the Iran-backed Houthis and Iraqi Shia militias targeting Saudi energy infrastructure, as previously documented by The Zioneer and other outlets.
