Yemen's Houthi movement said it launched a missile attack toward Saudi Arabia on Saturday, with rebel-linked media naming the southern Saudi city of Jizan as the target. The claim surfaced as regional tensions remained high and attention focused on the risk of a broader conflict.
The reported strike came at a sensitive moment for Washington. US President Donald Trump was described as considering stronger military action against Iran, adding another layer of uncertainty to an already volatile Middle East situation.
The Houthis, who are backed by Iran, have repeatedly been drawn into wider regional confrontations. Their latest claim against Saudi Arabia underlines how the conflict is stretching across borders and involving multiple actors tied to the Iran-US standoff.
Based on the available report, no further details were immediately clear about the attack's impact. But the timing of the Houthi announcement highlighted the growing pressure on Gulf security as talk of possible new US strikes on Iran intensified.
