Houthis strike Saudi air base, Italian Eurofighter damaged
–
Neutral summary
In the early hours of September 18, Houthi attacks on the Taif air base in Saudi Arabia damaged an Italian Eurofighter F-2000 fighter jet. Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto said no military personnel were hurt and no other damage was done to equipment or infrastructure used by Italian staff. The previous day, September 17, the sides exchanged strikes: according to AFP, dozens were killed in clashes between the Houthis, Yemeni government forces and Saudi Arabia, including 63 in the last 24 hours. The Houthis also claimed to have shot down a Saudi F-15, while Saudi civil defense reported one person killed and two injured by debris from an intercepted drone in Taif. The European Union expressed “total solidarity” with Saudi Arabia and called on the Houthis to cease their strikes.
