> Yemen’s Houthi group claimed it launched dozens of ballistic missiles and drones against military and energy sites in southern Saudi Arabia in retaliation for recent Saudi operations in Yemen. Saudi authorities said strikes hit civilian and economic facilities in four locations, injuring 73 people and temporarily halting operations at several energy and utility sites. The Saudi-led coalition called the attacks a “dangerous escalation.”
