Houthis attack Saudi military base in Sharurah with missiles and drones, Trump responds to the accusations

Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels said overnight they had targeted weapons depots and command and control centers at a military base in Saudi Arabia's Sharurah region using ballistic missiles and drones. Last night the East-West oil pipeline, a key infrastructure for Riyadh with a capacity of 7 million barrels per day, was hit. 'The Houthis asked us not to attack them', Trump replies after the raids by the Yemeni rebels. The group denies on X: 'False and unfounded statement'. In Dublin the US president says that 'a united Ireland would be fantastic'. 'Public opinion does not want another referendum', replies British Prime Minister Burnham.
