The Houthi movement in Yemen issued a claim on Friday evening that it struck forces, warehouses, and military equipment affiliated with Saudi Arabia. The statement, reported by Israeli media, did not provide a specific location or time for the operation.
The claim follows a period of heightened Houthi military activity against Saudi targets. As The Zioneer reported, the Houthis announced a large-scale ballistic missile and drone operation on Thursday, and earlier this week coordinated attacks with Iraqi Shia militias struck Saudi oil facilities. The current claim, if verified, would be part of an ongoing campaign by the Iranian-backed group against Saudi-backed forces in Yemen.
No independent confirmation has been received from Saudi authorities or other sources, and the extent of the alleged damage remains unclear.
