As a result of the resumption of hostillities in Yemen in a spillover of the 2026 Iran war and the increasing tensions in the Middle East and in Yemen (after the 2026 Sanaa airport strike by the Saudi allied Yemeni government), the Houthis launched a barrage of strikes against Saudi Arabia who they deem of helping the Yemini Presidential Leadership Council.
The attacks have led to widespread civilian injuries in Saudi Arabia with 73 or more civilians injured. No fatalities were reported immediately.
The attacks came after the Houthis alleged that Saudis had taken part in the counteroffensive by the Yemeni Government forces and struck a prison facility.
The forces of the Saudi-led intervention in Yemen declared the attacks 'sinful' and vowed of direct military retaliation against the Houthis with Major General Turki al Maliki saying that the Saudi Arabian forces will take 'firm action'.
