Yemen's Houthi rebels launched fresh strikes against Saudi Arabia and military targets in Yemen's Aden region, claiming responsibility for attacks on oil infrastructure and airports. The offensive followed accusations that Saudi airstrikes killed 17 people, though independent verification of casualty figures remains unclear. The escalation marks a continuation of the broader conflict between the Iran-aligned Houthis and the Saudi-led coalition, with energy markets reacting to renewed threats against regional oil facilities.
