Saudi-Led Coalition Strikes Houthi Military Targets in Yemen

The Saudi-led military coalition conducted strikes against Houthi rebel military targets in Yemen on Friday, according to coalition spokesman Turki al-Maliki. He stated that the operation was a direct response to a recent Houthi attack on a ship carrying the Saudi Arabian flag. No further details about the scale of the strikes or casualties have been released. The Houthi movement, backed by Iran, has been engaged in a prolonged conflict with the internationally recognized Yemeni government, which is supported by the Saudi-led coalition. This incident marks the latest escalation in the ongoing tensions within the region.
