The Saudi-led coalition reported intercepting multiple Houthi projectiles, including cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and drones, over various Saudi cities. These interceptions occurred amid a renewed wave of attacks targeting the Kingdom. The coalition also released footage of strikes against Houthi weapons smuggling operations in Hodeidah.
These actions represent a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict, with Houthi forces extending their reach beyond Yemen's borders. The coalition's defensive measures aim to protect civilian areas and critical infrastructure, while its offensive operations seek to disrupt the flow of arms to the Houthi movement.
