Houthis say they intercepted two Saudi F-15 jets with missiles
Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree claimed the aircraft were struck with locally-made anti-aircraft missiles near Khamis Mushait Air Base.
The Houthi movement reported targeting two Saudi F-15 fighter jets with several locally-made anti-aircraft missiles as they departed from the Khamis Mushait Air Base, according to military spokesperson Yahya Saree. The Houthis claimed the aircraft "were forced to retreat immediately" following the strike.
The report has not been independently verified. Saudi Arabia has not yet issued a statement responding to the Houthi claim. The incident underscores ongoing tensions in the region, where the Iran-backed Houthis have previously reported targeting Saudi military assets.
