Yemen’s war is spiralling into a dangerous new phase as Houthi forces expand their offensive and launch missile and drone attacks deep inside Saudi Arabia. The Houthis have claimed strikes on sensitive sites in Riyadh and Saudi Aramco facilities in Yanbu, while Saudi authorities say missiles and drones have been intercepted and civilians have been injured in earlier attacks. On the battlefield, Houthi forces have made significant advances along Yemen’s Red Sea coast, including the capture of the strategic port of Mocha and positions near the Bab al-Mandeb Strait. The group’s growing control of this critical maritime chokepoint is raising fresh concerns for global shipping and energy supplies. Saudi Arabia has vowed a “firm” response to the attacks, while the Houthis say their strikes are retaliation for Saudi military operations inside Yemen. With Saudi energy infrastructure and the vital Red Sea shipping corridor under growing pressure, the escalating conflict is creating a major security challenge for Riyadh and adding to calls for greater international support.
