Houthi rebels claim attack on Saudi military base amid renewed Yemen fighting

Yemeni Houthi rebels announced on Sunday that they had carried out an attack on a Saudi Arabian military base in the kingdom’s southern region. The claim follows a series of escalations in the conflict between the Houthis and Yemen’s internationally recognized government forces, which have intensified in recent weeks and prompted a surge in civilian displacement.

The renewed hostilities have also spread to western Yemen, where fighting over the past several weeks has resulted in hundreds of deaths and forced tens of thousands of residents to flee their homes. Humanitarian agencies warn that the growing number of displaced persons is straining already limited resources, underscoring the broader regional impact of the conflict.
