Houthis claim missile strikes on Saudi cities of Riyadh and Yanbu
Yemen's Houthi movement says it launched attacks on two Saudi Arabian targets in response to ongoing Saudi strikes on Yemen.
Houthi representative Yahya Saree claimed the movement carried out missile strikes targeting Riyadh and Yanbu, according to TASS. Saree said the attacks were a response to Saudi Arabia's continued military operations in Yemen.
The Houthis have previously claimed responsibility for drone and missile attacks on Saudi Arabian cities. Saudi Arabia has conducted an air campaign in Yemen since 2015 as part of a coalition supporting the internationally recognized government against the Iran-backed Houthis.
