Yemen's Houthi movement claimed responsibility for a large-scale missile and drone attack on Saudi Arabia, targeting Aramco energy facilities in Jizan and Yanbu in retaliation for overnight Saudi airstrikes on Hodeidah city and Kamaran Island. The Houthis said they carried out two coordinated operations using ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones, claiming both strikes achieved their intended objectives with "precise and direct hits". The group accused Saudi Arabia of conducting "criminal and unjust" attacks that violated Yemen's sovereignty and caused material and moral damage. The latest escalation signals a widening regional confrontation, with the Houthis warning of "escalation for escalation" amid growing instability and threats to regional security. (PC: Times Now)
