Escalation of Conflict Between Saudi Arabia and Houthis Intensifies
The conflict in Yemen has seen a significant escalation, with Saudi Arabia launching strikes on key fuel depots in Yemen as tensions with Houthi rebels rise. The Saudi-led coalition has targeted oil facilities and issued evacuation orders in Sanaa amidst threats from the Houthis to retaliate against Saudi Aramco sites and Riyadh airports. Reports indicate that the coalition aims to neutralize Houthi capabilities used in missile and drone attacks. In response to the ongoing airstrikes, Houthi officials claim casualties and vow to strike back against Saudi interests. Meanwhile, Qatari and Emirati airlines have suspended flights to Saudi hubs due to the increased danger from Houthi attacks, reflecting a growing concern for civilian safety in the region.
