Reportedly, the Houthi movement launched an attack on Saudi soil this evening, marking the first such strike on the kingdom since March 2022. Details of the attack, including targets and casualties, remain unconfirmed.
The Zioneer reports that this evening's Houthi attack on Saudi soil is the first such strike on the kingdom since March 2022. Earlier this evening, Saudi sources reported a salvo of missiles launched by the Houthis from Yemen toward targets inside Saudi Arabia, as The Zioneer reported at 20:32. Iranian media also reported that the attack included both missiles and drones (20:01). A Houthi-affiliated channel claimed the 'response in Saudi Arabia has begun' (19:57). The details of the attack, including specific targets, interceptions, and casualties, remain unconfirmed. The Houthis have not yet officially claimed responsibility for this specific attack, though the movement has previously released footage of missile launches aimed at Israel and Saudi Arabia. The attack marks a significant escalation in the Yemen conflict and a departure from the relative calm on the Saudi front since 2022. A related incident in April 2025 saw a Houthi missile land in Saudi Arabia while heading toward Israel, but today's attack appears to be a direct strike on Saudi territory.
