In retaliation for the military operations of the Saudi Arabia-led Arab Coalition against the Houthis in Yemen, the Houthis frequently target Saudi Arabia's border regions and southern provinces.
Military areas and critical infrastructure facilities in the region are occasionally attacked by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and ballistic missiles launched from the Yemen border.
The Iranian-backed Houthis have been in control of parts of Yemen, including the capital Sanaa, since 2014. The coalition led by Saudi Arabia has been supporting the Yemeni government since 2015.
