Saudi Arabia carried out a strike overnight targeting the stronghold of the Houthi leader, according to a report from ynet. The full report is yet to be published; details on casualties and extent of damage are not yet available.
Overnight, Saudi Arabia reportedly struck the stronghold of the Houthi leader, according to a brief dispatch from ynet. The location of the target and the scale of the attack are not specified in the initial report.
This development comes amid heightened regional tensions following a Houthi attack on a Saudi airport earlier, footage of which was circulated by pro-Iranian channels (as The Zioneer reported at Tue 01:53 Jerusalem). The Houthis have also threatened further 'big military surprises' after recent missile launches toward Israel (The Zioneer, Tue Jun 9, 09:27 Jerusalem).
It remains unclear whether the strike was carried out by Saudi aircraft or with support from coalition partners. The full details are expected in ynet's upcoming report.
