Thirteen civilians suffered injuries after Yemen’s Houthis launched coordinated ballistic missile and drone attacks against three Saudi cities, the Saudi-led coalition said.
Coalition spokesman Brigadier General Turki al-Malki said the attacks targeted Khamis Mushait, Abha and Taif, causing minor to moderate injuries.
Falling missiles, drones and shrapnel also damaged seven homes and two civilian vehicles, according to the coalition.
Coalition vows firm response
Al-Malki accused the Houthis of deliberately targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure during the cross-border attacks.
He said the coalition would respond firmly and responsibly to protect Saudi sovereignty, civilian facilities and residents from further attacks.
The spokesman added that the coalition would act in accordance with international law and the United Nations Charter’s right to self-defence.
Meanwhile, Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree claimed Saudi fighter jets carried out 54 air strikes across five Yemeni provinces within 24 hours.
He said Saudi Arabia used F-15 and Typhoon fighter aircraft during the extensive bombardment across Yemen.
Saree warned that the Saudi strikes would not go unanswered, raising fears of further escalation between the two sides.
Houthis threaten wider attacks
Earlier Monday, the Houthis claimed responsibility for a large-scale missile and drone operation against King Khalid Air Base in Khamis Mushait.
The group also threatened to expand its attacks deeper into Saudi territory following the latest Saudi air strikes.
Moreover, fighting between Yemen’s internationally recognised government forces and the Houthis has intensified since early July.
The renewed confrontations have disrupted years of relative calm along several key front lines and increased concerns about wider regional instability.
