Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman met with the head of the United States Central Command (CENTCOM), Brad Cooper, in Jeddah on Monday. The meeting occurred against a backdrop of intensifying military conflict in Yemen and an escalation in regional hostilities involving Houthi rebels.
Simultaneously, fighting has intensified in the Yemeni province of Taiz and along the country's western Red Sea coast, where government forces are conducting operations near the Bab al Mandeb strait with aerial support. Amid these developments, Houthi rebels claimed to have launched a large-scale attack using dozens of missiles and drones against an air base in southern Saudi Arabia, asserting that the strikes achieved precise and direct impacts.
