Houthi missile strike on Aden presidential palace kills two aides

Houthi forces have significantly escalated attacks on Saudi Arabia, directly targeting critical energy infrastructure, major civilian airports, and the capital, Riyadh. These strikes, including a confirmed rocket strike on Saudi Aramco HQ and deadly airport attacks, demonstrate enhanced Houthi capabilities and expose gaps in Saudi air defenses. The escalation signals a shift in Houthi strategy and has prompted international condemnation, though the full impact on Saudi oil exports and regional stability remains uncertain.
