Houthi Ballistic Missile & Drone Attacks on Saudi Arabia; French Military Deployment

Houthi forces have launched multiple ballistic missile and drone attacks deep into Saudi Arabia, targeting critical energy infrastructure in Yanbu and military sites in Jazan, and claiming strikes on Riyadh and Saudi Aramco facilities. Saudi air defenses have intercepted several projectiles, but the attacks represent a significant escalation in Houthi capabilities and intent. France has confirmed the deployment of troops, radar, and air defense systems to Saudi Arabia, specifically to protect the Yanbu oil port and secure Red Sea energy routes, marking a notable increase in international military involvement.
