Houthis strike Riyadh and Yanbu; Saudi Arabia vows retaliation

Houthi forces launched a significant, multi-pronged ballistic missile and drone attack targeting deep inside Saudi Arabia, including Riyadh, Taif, Yanbu, and Jazan. Saudi air defenses intercepted six ballistic missiles, but the extent of damage from other claimed attacks, particularly on energy infrastructure, remains unconfirmed. This represents a notable escalation in Houthi offensive capabilities and intent.
