> At least five people, including three children, have reportedly been killed as Saudi Arabia and Yemen’s Houthis intensify attacks. Houthi leader Abdel-Malik al-Houthi called Riyadh’s claim that the group targeted Mecca a “heinous lie.” Iran questioned the accusation, while China privately urged Iranian officials to help rein in the Houthis.
