Attack Strikes Major Saudi Airport

Fighting Between Houthis and Saudi Arabia Picks Up Again
Clashes between Houthi forces and Saudi Arabia have grown more intense since August. This came after a four year period of relative calm between the two sides.
The Houthis began striking Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea around that time. They say this was payback for the Yemeni army’s shelling of Sanaa airport. Riyadh backs that army in the ongoing conflict.
Tensions in the region have stayed high in recent weeks. Just a day earlier, Houthi forces claimed a separate strike on a Saudi military headquarters in Aden.
