Saudi Arabia has initiated airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen, with reports indicating operations across the capital Sanaa and the Gulf of Aden. The scope of the strikes and the specific targets remain unconfirmed, and no casualty figures have been reported.
The operation comes amid a broader regional escalation. Saudi Arabia has previously conducted airstrikes against Houthi weapons sites in recent weeks, as The Zioneer reported. In July, Saudi fighter jets were reported conducting intensive patrols over Sanaa and the Gulf of Aden. Earlier today, Houthi and Iraqi militia forces were reported to have struck Saudi targets from Iraqi territory, according to Reuters.
The Houthi movement, backed by Iran, has been a persistent threat to Saudi Arabia and Israel, launching missiles and drones at both countries. No official confirmation from Riyadh has been issued on the current operation.
