Saudi airstrikes in Yemen resulted in three deaths, according to a Houthi official. The military escalation follows actions by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels, who seized two strategic islands, Greater and Lesser Hanish, located in the southern Red Sea.

The capture of the Hanish islands bolsters the rebels' capability to control a key maritime shipping route. Additionally, the Houthi group claimed to have launched a new wave of attacks targeting Saudi Arabia.
