Houthi Attack Injures 11 Civilians in Saudi Arabia

Houthi rebels from Yemen launched missile and drone attacks late Thursday, injuring 11 civilians in southern Saudi Arabia. This incident represents the highest number of civilian casualties recorded in the kingdom in more than four years of ongoing conflict. The Saudi-led coalition confirmed the casualties in a statement.

According to coalition spokesperson General Turki al-Maliki, the injured comprised seven Saudi citizens, two Egyptians, one Yemeni national, and one Palestinian. The attacks targeted the Najran region, situated on the border between Saudi Arabia and Yemen. These actions follow an increase in Houthi provocations against Saudi Arabia since May, exacerbating regional instability.

The conflict has been further complicated by the war between the United States and Iran, which began in late February. The Houthi attacks in Najran underscore the persistent volatility in the region, with civilian populations bearing the brunt of the prolonged hostilities.
