Houthis Claim Attack on Saudi Base in Retaliation for Yemen Bombardments
The Iran-aligned rebel group reportedly targeted a Saudi military installation amid escalating regional tensions.
The Houthis have claimed responsibility for an attack against a Saudi base, presenting it as a response to bombardments conducted by Riyadh in Yemen. The Iran-aligned rebel group has intensified its operations against Saudi Arabia over the past several days.
The action comes after the Houthis strengthened their control of the strategic Strait of Bab Al-Mandab, restricting Saudi oil tankers' access to the Red Sea en route to the Indian Ocean.
