Houthi Missile Attacks on Saudi Arabia Escalate, Targeting Holy Cities and Infrastructure

Houthi forces have significantly escalated missile and drone attacks against Saudi Arabia, with Saudi air defenses intercepting multiple ballistic and cruise missiles, including those reportedly targeting Mecca and Medina. While Saudi Arabia confirms these interceptions and debris falls, Houthis deny targeting holy cities, claiming only military and oil facilities. This marks a clear erosion of the 2022 truce and a return to direct hostilities.
