Houthi forces have significantly escalated missile and drone attacks against Saudi Arabia, including claimed targets near Mecca and Medina, which Houthis deny. Saudi air defenses have intercepted numerous projectiles, but the sustained volume and alleged targeting of holy cities indicate a collapse of the 2022 truce and a return to direct hostilities. The effectiveness of Saudi air defenses against low-cost Houthi systems remains a key vulnerability.
