WorldSaudi Arabia and Houthis escalate attacks as Yemen conflict intensifies

The conflict between Saudi Arabia and Yemen’s Houthi movement is escalating. Houthi attacks were reported at Saudi Arabia’s King Khalid and King Fahd airports, followed by retaliatory Saudi-led coalition airstrikes on Houthi positions in Sanaa and Taiz. The developments coincide with diplomatic efforts, including a Saudi-Iranian foreign ministers’ call in which Iran offered to facilitate dialogue. US Ambassador Jeff Bartos condemned the Houthis at the United Nations.
