Houthis report Saudi airstrikes on Yemen after attacks on Saudi military bases
Yemen's Houthis said Saudi Arabia launched 54 airstrikes across western Yemen over 24 hours after the group fired drones and missiles at Saudi military facilities. The group recently seized Yemen's Red Sea coast and the Bab al-Mandab Strait.
Yemen's Houthis said on Monday that Saudi Arabia launched airstrikes across the west of the country after the Iran-backed group earlier announced it had targeted military bases in the kingdom.
The Houthis, who are fighting the Saudi-backed, internationally recognised Yemeni government, said Riyadh targeted Yemen with 54 strikes over 24 hours. The group said it had fired dozens of drones and missiles at Saudi military facilities before the reported airstrikes.
After the Houthi attacks, Saudi civil defence issued alerts in the southern cities of Khamis Mushait and Abha. It later issued a brief alert for Najran in southwestern Saudi Arabia without elaborating.
The Houthis last week seized control of Yemen's Red Sea coast and the Bab al-Mandab Strait. The strait has become vital as the wider U.S.-Iran war chokes the Strait of Hormuz, according to the supplied report.
