The Saudi-led military coalition confirmed early Friday that 11 civilians were wounded in a Houthi attack in southern Saudi Arabia, with a 4-year-old child among the injured, as reported by Israeli media N12. This follows an earlier bulletin from The Zioneer at 00:29, which cited Saudi state media reporting the same casualty count. The Houthis, an Iran-backed militant group, have intensified cross-border strikes against Saudi territory in recent weeks, targeting civilian areas and energy infrastructure. The Saudi-led coalition, formed to counter the Houthi threat, has been operating in Yemen since 2015 but has increasingly faced retaliatory attacks on Saudi soil. The exact location of the latest strike has not been disclosed.
