The Yemen conflict has entered another dangerous phase after the Houthis launched a missile and drone barrage targeting three Saudi Arabian cities, with 13 civilians reportedly sustaining minor to moderate injuries. The attacks targeted areas around Khamis Mushait, Abha and Taif, with Saudi authorities reporting damage to seven homes and two vehicles. The latest Houthi assault has once again raised concerns over attacks on civilian areas and the risk of the Yemen conflict spilling deeper into Saudi territory. Saudi authorities and the Saudi-led coalition have accused the Houthis of deliberately targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure, while signalling further military measures in what they describe as self-defence.
