Houthi attacks and Saudi strikes intensify Yemen confrontation
Houthi officials said Saudi airstrikes killed three people, while other reports said attacks injured 13 civilians and that the Houthis struck Saudi targets again. Saudi Arabia has vowed a firm response as talks over the Strait of Hormuz stall.
Reciprocal attacks and civilian casualties raise the risk of a broader Saudi-Houthi confrontation and wider regional escalation.
