Houthi Missile Attacks on Saudi Arabia Escalate, Targeting Holy Cities

Houthi forces have escalated missile and drone attacks against Saudi Arabia, with Saudi air defenses intercepting multiple ballistic missiles and 11 drones targeting Riyadh, Medina, Mecca, Yanbu, Taif, and southern regions. While Saudi Arabia claims missiles were aimed at Mecca and Medina, the Houthis deny these specific targets, stating their operations focus on military and oil facilities. The persistent and geographically widespread attacks, particularly the alleged targeting of holy cities, indicate a significant escalation in the conflict.
