Saudi Reports Fresh Houthi Attacks as France Offers Military Support

  • On Thursday, French President Emmanuel Macron announced France will send troops, radar, and defense systems to Yanbu, Saudi Arabia, to protect the Red Sea port's critical energy export infrastructure.
  • Missile attacks from Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis have targeted Yanbu, threatening Saudi oil export routes and causing crude prices to surge recently, prompting France's intervention.
  • During a television interview with TF1 and France 2, Macron stated, "We are going to send military resources... to protect this site," and ordered a government plan to shield infrastructure from drone and cyber attacks.
  • Macron warned that Russia is multiplying "hostile and criminal acts" against European countries, citing the failed August drone attack on Leipzig airport in Germany as a potential template for strikes on French soil.
  • Amid domestic pressure over energy costs, the President assured the public that France maintains adequate gas and oil supplies as winter approaches, while Paris actively works to ensure international energy flows remain uninterrupted.
