These attacks involved the use of drones and missiles targeting the cities of Khamis Mushait, Abha, and Taif in southern Saudi Arabia. Turki al-Maliki, the spokesman for the military coalition fighting alongside the Yemeni government against the Houthis, confirmed this news.

According to the Houthi television channel Al-Masirah, Saudi Arabia has experienced one of its "hardest nights." This media outlet reported that the Houthis' "major operations" have expanded into the depths of the neighboring country and that "fear is increasing."
Saudi Response to Houthi Attacks
The Houthis also stated that the Saudi Air Force has conducted new airstrikes in Yemen. Yahya Saree, the military spokesman for the Houthis, stated that the Saudi Air Force has carried out more than 50 airstrikes in the provinces of Taiz and Marib in the past 24 hours. The Saba News Agency, which is controlled by the Houthis, reported that three people were killed and two others were injured in these attacks.
The internationally recognized Yemeni government also announced that it will continue its attacks on Houthi targets and has released videos of the latest strikes using artillery and drones.
Impact of the Conflicts on Civilians
The United Nations estimates that since the onset of the conflicts in this region earlier this month, about 125,000 residents have been displaced from their homes. This figure reflects the worsening humanitarian situation and the direct impacts of the conflicts on civilians. The conflicts have not only affected people's lives but have also damaged vital and economic infrastructure.
Given the escalating tensions in the region and actions taken by both parties involved, it appears that the security situation in Saudi Arabia and Yemen will remain critical. International observers are closely monitoring developments and warning of the humanitarian and political consequences of these conflicts.
