China News Service, Beijing, September 10. Comprehensive news: Saudi Arabia and the Houthi armed forces in Yemen continued to attack each other on the 9th. The Saudi Civil Defense Department issued emergency alerts for the southwestern region of the country on the 10th. Yemen's ambassador to Qatar Badi warned that a new round of conflict between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia could cause the Bab el-Mandeb Strait to become "another choking point" for global shipping.

According to reports from Qatar's Al Jazeera, the Saudi Civil Defense Department issued two emergency alerts for the southwest region of the country on the 10th, requiring local people to follow safety instructions, avoid gathering and filming, and announced an emergency hotline number.

According to reports, the second alert targeted Khamis Mushait, who was attacked on the 9th. Both alerts were issued and lifted on the same day.

According to the Saudi Press Agency, Maliki, spokesman for the multinational coalition led by Saudi Arabia, issued a statement on the 9th saying that the Houthi armed forces in Yemen used multiple ballistic missiles and drones to launch attacks on Khamis Mushayt, Abha, Jazan and other places in Saudi Arabia that day.

The statement condemned the Yemeni Houthi armed forces for continuing to launch "egregious attacks" against Saudi national assets and infrastructure, and said that the multinational coalition would respond.

According to the Saba News Agency controlled by Yemen's Houthi armed forces, Saudi Arabia launched 32 air strikes on various places in Marib, Jawf, Taiz and Hodeida provinces in Yemen on the 9th.

Sources in the Yemeni military said that Saudi Arabia's air strikes on areas controlled by the Houthi armed forces were aimed at providing support to the Yemeni government forces.

Badi, the Yemeni ambassador to Qatar, said in an interview with Qatar's Al Jazeera on the 9th that the new round of conflict between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia was an attempt by the Houthis to "involve Saudi Arabia in the conflict" after being attacked by the Yemeni government forces and suffering serious losses.

He warned that if the Houthis further disrupt the freedom of navigation in the Red Sea during the conflict and control the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which is responsible for 11% of the world's seaborne oil trade and 8% of the liquefied natural gas trade, it will become "another choking point" for global shipping after the Strait of Hormuz.
