Saudi Arabia lifts alert in Khamis Mushait after major Houthi strikes wound 73

Saudi Arabia lifted a civil defense alert in Khamis Mushait a day after Houthi attacks on an airbase and oil infrastructure in four southern cities wounded 73 people. The strikes mark one of the largest Houthi attacks on Saudi territory since the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran began in February, signaling escalation in regional conflict. The lifting of the alert suggests immediate threat receded, but the attack's scale underscores heightened vulnerability of Saudi energy and military targets.
