Saudi Arabia strikes Houthi targets in Yemen following Red Sea ship attack
Houthi rebels vowed retaliation after Saudi Arabia struck targets in Yemen's Hodeidah province following a rebel attack on a Saudi vessel in the Red Sea.
Yemeni Houthi rebels have pledged to launch retaliatory strikes against Saudi Arabia following air attacks on the coastal province of Hodeidah. According to security sources and local reports, the bombardment targeted military infrastructure, including naval positions, telecommunications facilities, and Kamaran Island. Rebel authorities claimed the attacks damaged civilian infrastructure and caused casualties.
The escalation follows Houthi claims of hitting a Saudi vessel in the Red Sea and declaring a sea blockade against the kingdom. The strikes mark a significant expansion of regional hostilities, raising concerns over maritime security and further destabilization in the Middle East.
