🇾🇪 Yemen: Houthis accuse Saudi Arabia of massive attacks

Fighting in Yemen continues to escalate. The Houthis said that Saudi Arabia had carried out 26 attacks on areas under their control within a single day; according to their statements, the number of Saudi attacks over the past week had already reached the hundreds. ⁠Al Jazeera cited these figures, referring to the Houthis. The Saudi side did not confirm the number of attacks.

At the same time, the conflict has now also triggered an official international response. The UN Security Council called for an immediate end to the escalation and referred to Houthi attacks against Saudi Arabia, the threat to international shipping, and the movement’s advance toward Bab al-Mandab. According to the UN, ⁠at least 125,000 people have been displaced within Yemen since the beginning of September. Meanwhile, Riyadh said it had intercepted a ballistic missile headed toward the capital; for their part, the Houthis claimed ⁠responsibility for attacks on Riyadh and Saudi Aramco facilities in Yanbu.
