Houthis strike three Saudi cities; coalition and rebels trade blows
–
Neutral summary
The Saudi-led coalition said Houthi rebels attacked the southwestern Saudi cities of Khamis Mushait, Abha and Jizan with ballistic missiles and drones on Wednesday, the second consecutive day of such strikes. Saudi civil defence issued alerts warning of “potential danger” in Abha and Khamis Mushait. The two sides exchanged air strikes, with the coalition reporting Houthi attacks while the rebels said Saudi forces launched dozens of raids. Analysts warn the escalation, including an advance by the Houthis toward the Bab al-Mandab Strait, could draw Iran and its allies into a wider conflict.
