Saudi Arabia says it will respond “firmly” to attacks by Yemen’s Houthis after an assault inside the kingdom wounds 13 people. Saudi officials describe the attack as involving ballistic missiles and drones.
The reported assault comes amid renewed fighting in Yemen that escalates the wider security situation in the Red Sea. Since fighting reignites in July, the Houthis target Saudi-linked shipping and declare a maritime blockade directed at Riyadh. Outlets frame Saudi’s warning as part of its broader efforts to deter or counter Houthi operations, though they focus on different immediate details such as the reported casualty figure and the specific weapon types used.
