Yemen's Houthis claim attack on Saudi oil facility, Saudi forces strike Sanaa amid renewed fighting

Yemen's Houthi rebels claimed an attack on an oil facility near Riyadh, where flames and smoke were observed. Concurrently, Saudi forces reportedly launched 26 strikes on Sanaa. This escalation follows a lightning offensive by Houthis last month, seizing control of Yemen's Red Sea coast and the Bab al-Mandab strait, a crucial waterway for global energy flows. The renewed fighting has worsened humanitarian conditions, with the World Food Programme warning that three-quarters of Yemen's population cannot meet basic food needs.
