Houthi attack on Saudi Arabia wounds 11 civilians as kingdom warns of wider threat

A Houthi attack on Saudi Arabia's southern Najran Province wounded 11 civilians, including a 4-year-old child with second-degree burns. The Saudi-led military coalition attributed the attack to Iran-aligned Houthis, accusing them of violating international humanitarian law by targeting civilian areas. The incident occurred amid ongoing tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran-backed groups, with concerns over potential coordinated attacks on Saudi infrastructure. A senior Saudi official warned of escalating threats and emphasized continued cooperation with the U.S., Turkey, and Pakistan to counter these risks. The Houthis previously claimed responsibility for an attack on Najran airport and killed over 30 Yemeni government troops in separate incidents.
