> Saudi authorities say Iran-backed Houthi forces launched dozens of drones and missiles at civilian and energy infrastructure in four south-western cities, injuring 73 people and starting fires at oil facilities that temporarily halted some operations. The Saudi-led coalition called it a “dangerous escalation” and promised action, while the Houthis said the strikes retaliated for recent Saudi attacks in Yemen.
