Houthi fighters in Yemen say they carried out an attack on a Saudi military base in the south of the country, targeting the Sharurah base. In a statement posted on social media, Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree says drones and missiles were used. The Houthis say the strike hit “weapons depots and command and control centres” that they describe as managing actions against Yemen.
Outlets report the date of the operation is not specified. All sources link the claim to a period of heightened fighting in Yemen, describing renewed clashes between Iran-allied Houthis and Yemeni government forces backed by Riyadh. Some reports add further context about recent territorial gains, including that the Houthis have taken over much of Yemen’s Red Sea coast in recent days. South China Morning Post and Al-Monitor also emphasize that the renewed conflict is causing civilians to flee.
While the reports consistently reflect the Houthis’ account, they do not include an independent confirmation from Saudi Arabia or other parties regarding whether the attack occurred or its impact.
