Yemen's Houthis strike Saudi Arabia's Abha airport with missiles and drones in a sharp escalation

Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen launched missiles and drones at Saudi Arabia’s Abha International Airport on Monday, marking a significant escalation in hostilities. The attack followed Saudi airstrikes on Sanaa International Airport earlier that day, which the Houthis claimed were intended to block an Iranian plane from landing. No casualties were reported, but the incident signals renewed conflict between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia, which had experienced a period of relative calm. Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree warned airlines to avoid Saudi airspace and accused Saudi forces of ending de-escalation efforts. The U.N. Security Council expressed concerns over potential regional instability. The ongoing Yemeni civil war, involving a Saudi-led coalition, continues amid deteriorating relations between Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
