An attack by Yemen’s Houthi forces on southern Saudi Arabia wounds 11 civilians, according to a Riyadh-led coalition and a military official cited by multiple outlets. The injury toll is reported as unprecedented in Saudi Arabia in more than four years of hostilities. The attacks are described as shelling carried out by the Houthis, who are widely characterized as Iran-backed. Coverage states the incident occurs in the kingdom’s south and results in civilian injuries, but does not provide additional details such as the exact locations hit, the type of munitions used, or the condition of those hurt. In the wider regional context, one outlet also notes an upcoming joint defense development involving Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan, but this is not directly linked to the attack itself in the reports provided. Overall, the sources agree on the core facts: Houthi action targets southern Saudi Arabia and leaves 11 civilians injured.
