Houthi attack on Saudi Arabia wounds 11 civilians as kingdom warns of wider threat
Saudi officials said the attack hit civilian areas and warned of possible coordinated strikes on energy sites, ports and airports.
Early Friday morning, Houthi strikes wounded 11 people in Saudi Arabia, the Saudi-led coalition reported, including seven Saudis, two Egyptians, one Yemeni, and one Pakistani.
On Thursday, the Houthis claimed to have struck Saudi-aligned fighters in border areas of Ruwayk, Abr, and Thaniyah using ballistic missiles and drones, alleging destruction of military camps and weapons depots.
A Saudi official stated Friday the nation anticipates coordinated attacks from Iran-backed militias in Iraq, potentially targeting energy infrastructure, ports, and airports to derail diplomatic negotiations.
Yemeni government sources reported 30 troops killed in Marib and Hadramout, while Saudi Arabia struck Iran-backed groups in Iraq on July 29 following alleged attacks on Saudi oil facilities.
Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan are expected to sign a joint defense agreement on Friday as the Saudi-Houthi conflict escalates rapidly in recent weeks.
