Yemen’s Houthi group says Saudi Arabia carries out more than 50 strikes against its positions over a 24-hour period. The claim comes after the Houthis said they conducted a rare drone and missile attack on a military base in Saudi Arabia.
Both reports place the exchange within a broader pattern of renewed conflict in Yemen. Fighting between the Houthis and Saudi-backed government forces resumes after a July escalation, when the group declared a maritime blockade on Saudi Arabia. The Houthis also begin targeting ships in the Red Sea, framing it as part of the wider campaign.
While the outlets agree on the core timeline—Houthi claims of an attack on a Saudi base, followed by Saudi strike figures reported by the Houthis—neither source provides independent verification of the numbers or details of the strikes. The reports therefore reflect the Houthis’ account and the immediate context described by the group, without confirming specifics from Saudi or other neutral sources.
