Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi movement said Saturday that it launched missiles and drones toward Saudi Arabia, framing the operation as a response to Saudi attacks on Hodeida in western Yemen.
The announcement was made by Houthi spokesperson Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree in a post on X, according to the report snippet. The group presented the strike as direct retaliation linked to the fighting around Hodeida.
The development points to another flare-up in the long-running Yemen-Saudi conflict, where cross-border attacks and reprisals have repeatedly raised regional tensions. Hodeida has remained a sensitive location because of its strategic importance inside Yemen.
Based on the limited details available, the report does not specify the exact targets in Saudi Arabia or any confirmed damage or casualties. What is clear is that the Houthis publicly claimed responsibility and tied the action to recent Saudi strikes on Hodeida.
