Houthi-Saudi Conflict: Escalation with Cross-Border Strikes and Coalition Expansion

Houthi forces have significantly escalated cross-border attacks into Saudi Arabia, targeting airports, military sites, and critical infrastructure including a power station in Medina and an oil refinery. These strikes have prompted Saudi-led coalition intercepts and retaliatory actions, alongside the confirmed deployment of Turkish and Pakistani troops to support Saudi deterrence efforts. The extent of damage and casualties from recent Houthi claims remains partially unconfirmed, but the pattern indicates a widening of the conflict's geographic scope and an increase in regional involvement.
