Saudi Arabia escalation Houthis target air base
The Yemeni Ansar Allah (Houthi) group carried out a military operation deep inside Saudi territory, targeting King Khalid Air Base in Khamis Mushait. They destroyed aircraft hangars, radars, and warehouses in response to what they described as "Saudi aggression." The operation came after attacks on the Saudi oil pipeline "East-West," which was reported to have sustained extensive damage and ceased operations, with estimates suggesting that repair efforts could take several months. Saudi Arabia, the United States, and Iran are exchanging accusations over the origin of the attack. The U.S. president considered Iran responsible, while Tehran denied any involvement, and Baghdad stated that the assault originated from its territory. Iraqi and Saudi investigations are underway to identify the responsible party, with the Iraqi government acknowledging it found the drone launch platform used in targeting the pipeline. Saudi Arabia described the attack as a threat to its security and asserts its right to take measures to protect its vital facilities, amid uncertainty about who is behind the attack.
