Neutral Summary

Three people were killed and 36 others wounded following Houthi-claimed drone and missile attacks on two Saudi Arabian airports, Abha International and King Khalid International. The Houthi military stated these actions were in retaliation for recent Saudi-led coalition airstrikes. The attacks mark a significant escalation in the Yemeni conflict, which has recently intensified with Houthi advances along the Red Sea coast and subsequent counter-offensives by Saudi-backed forces. The United Nations reports that over 200,000 people have been displaced in the latest surge of violence.
