> Cross-border strikes between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis are intensifying. The Houthis claim to have attacked Riyadh International Airport and an Aramco refinery, while denying that Yemen’s government forces have taken any territory from them. Riyadh is seeking greater backing from its new defence alliance. Türkiye and Pakistan have agreed to rapidly deploy troops to Saudi Arabia but have not specified their role.
