Houthi-Saudi Conflict: Houthi Strikes Escalate, Regional Troop Deployments
Houthi forces have significantly escalated cross-border attacks, targeting Aden International Airport, Riyadh, and other Saudi cities with ballistic missiles and drones, resulting in confirmed casualties. In response, the Saudi-led coalition has intensified airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen, and Pakistan and Turkey have deployed troops to Saudi Arabia, broadening the anti-Houthi coalition. The full extent of damage from Houthi strikes and the operational impact of coalition airstrikes remain uncertain.
