Saudi-Houthi rebels fight against major bases... Deaths continue to rise (comprehensive)

On the 24th (local time), Saudi Arabia and Yemen's pro-Iran rebel group Houthi continued their armed battle targeting major cities and key facilities of the other side.

According to foreign media outlets such as Reuters and AFP, the Saudi-led coalition announced on this day that it had intercepted two ballistic missiles launched by Houthi rebels toward the western Saudi cities of Taif and Yanbu.

The damage to life and property caused by the Houthi rebels' ballistic missile launch is unknown, and a warning was once issued in the areas of Taif and Yanbu, Islam's holiest site in Mecca, and Saudi Arabia's second-largest city, Jeddah, but was lifted about 10 minutes later.

The attack came two days after Houthi rebels claimed they had hit key Saudi infrastructure.

Previously, Houthi rebels announced that they had attacked the Saudi Ministry of Defense in Riyadh, facilities of state-owned oil company Aramco in Yanbu, and King Fahd International Airport in Dammam.

Saudi authorities did not officially confirm the fact that Riyadh and Yanbu were hit, but announced that two people were killed in the attack on Dammam Airport.

The Saudi military's immediate counterattack continued, causing casualties one after another.

Al-Masira Broadcasting, run by the Houthi rebels, reported that Saudi troops carried out an airstrike on a house in the Asr area, west of Yemen's capital Sanaa, which is under rebel control, killing at least four people and injuring many others.

Additionally, a dormitory for employees of a cement factory in Sana'a was also hit by an airstrike, killing six women and one child and injuring three others.

The broadcast went on to report that five people, including the head of the household, two wives, and two children, were killed and one daughter was injured in a Saudi airstrike on a civilian's home in al-Tuhaita district of southern Hodeidah.

Meanwhile, Houthi rebels claimed to have attacked naval bases in Aden, the interim capital of the Yemeni government that is fighting against them.

“Our armed forces struck the so-called al-Nasr camp in Aden and Saudi enemy positions in the naval base,” Houthi military spokesman Yahya Sari said. “These facilities are under the control of the Saudi military.”
