Houthi Forces Escalate Attacks on Saudi Arabia and Yemeni Government in Aden

Houthi forces have significantly escalated cross-border missile and drone attacks targeting multiple Saudi cities, including Riyadh, Mecca, and Medina, while simultaneously launching direct rocket and shelling attacks on the Yemeni Presidential Palace and Aden International Airport. The Saudi-led coalition has confirmed numerous interceptions, though Houthi claims of striking Saudi airports and oil facilities remain unconfirmed. This dual-front escalation indicates a concerted Houthi effort to pressure both the Saudi-led coalition and the internationally recognized Yemeni government.
