RIYADH, Oct 15 (Reuters) – The Saudi-led military coalition in Yemen said on Thursday that the country’s Houthis had attempted to attack dozens of Saudi airports, ports and oil facilities, as fighting between the Iran-aligned group and Saudi Arabia intensified.
The Houthis have been firing ballistic missiles and drones at key Saudi sites for a week, in response to the kingdom’s backing of government forces in Yemen’s renewed civil war. The coalition’s latest statement highlighted the risk to Saudi civilian infrastructure as the conflict escalated.
