> The Saudi-led coalition called the Houthis’ claim of missile and drone strikes on an Aramco facility near Riyadh misleading, saying the group was trying to divert attention from its losses and rising public anger. Saudi-backed Yemeni forces said operations on Saturday killed at least 700 Houthis, while the coalition later reported 97 strikes on Houthi reinforcements.
