Saudi-led coalition strikes Houthi missile launch sites in Saada

Houthi forces have significantly escalated missile and drone attacks against Saudi Arabian infrastructure, including Riyadh airport and oil facilities, and the Yemeni presidential palace in Aden. These strikes demonstrate increased Houthi capabilities and expose persistent vulnerabilities in Saudi air defenses, despite US-supplied systems. The full extent of damage and the timeline for rescheduling affected events remain uncertain.

Houthi forces have intensified their offensive on Taiz, tightening a siege that has cut off critical supply lines and is exacerbating a severe humanitarian crisis. The Saudi-led coalition has responded with airstrikes around Taiz and against Houthi missile sites in Saada. The immediate outcomes of these engagements and the full extent of civilian casualties remain unverified.
