Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi group on Monday claimed it launched attacks targeting two Saudi airports, an Aramco facility and several military sites, as fighting between Houthi forces and Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces intensified.
According to Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree, the group used ballistic and cruise missiles and drones in three operations targeting sites across Saudi Arabia. The claims had not been independently verified, and Saudi authorities had not immediately confirmed the reported airport strikes.
