Iran-backed Houthis claim to hit Saudi base with missiles, drones amid renewed fighting

The Houthi rebel group in Yemen, which receives support from the Islamic Republic of Iran, has claimed responsibility for a missile and drone attack on a military base within Saudi Arabia. This claim comes amid an escalation of border clashes in the kingdom's south. According to reports, two people were injured following the impact of a projectile in the southern border region. These developments follow a week-long offensive that resulted in the rebel group capturing the remaining portions of Yemen's Red Sea coast. The Times of Israel reports that these strikes highlight the ongoing tensions and the intensification of hostilities in the region.
