Houthis say Saudi Arabia launched over 50 strikes against them in 24 hours

On Sunday, Yemen's Houthi movement reported that Saudi Arabia launched more than 50 airstrikes against their positions within a 24-hour period. The intense aerial bombardment follows a week-long Houthi offensive that concluded with the group capturing Yemen's Red Sea coast, thereby cementing their strategic control over the vital Bab al-Mandab Strait.

According to reports, the escalation also comes in the wake of a rare drone and missile attack claimed by the Houthis targeting a military base inside Saudi Arabia. The simultaneous military maneuvers highlight a sharp escalation in hostilities between the regional adversaries, focusing heavily on critical maritime and territorial corridors in Yemen.
