Yemen’s Houthis launch missiles at Saudi Arabia after strikes on Sanaa airport
Yemen’s Houthi rebels have launched a series of missiles at Saudi Arabia in retaliation for recent Saudi-led coalition airstrikes on Sanaa airport in Yemen. The missile strikes occurred on Tuesday, targeting various cities in Saudi Arabia, including the capital, Riyadh. Saudi officials confirmed the missile attacks but stated that their air defenses were able to intercept and destroy the incoming projectiles before they caused any damage.
The Houthi rebels, who have been engaged in a protracted conflict with the internationally recognized government of Yemen and the Saudi-led coalition since 2014, claimed responsibility for the missile strikes. They justified their actions as a response to the coalition’s continued military intervention in Yemen and the recent airstrikes on Sanaa airport, which they viewed as a direct attack on civilians.
The Saudi-led coalition, on the other hand, has accused the Houthis of escalating the conflict by launching missile attacks on civilian areas in Saudi Arabia. They reiterated their commitment to supporting the Yemeni government and restoring stability in the region.
The escalation of violence between the Houthis and the Saudi-led coalition raises concerns about the humanitarian situation in Yemen, which is already facing one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises. The United Nations and various international organizations have called for an immediate ceasefire and a return to peace negotiations to end the suffering of the Yemeni people.
