Saudi Arabia vows to respond after Houthis attack cities and energy facilities

Yemen's government accuses Houthis of killing 3 children as rebels claim Saudi forces launched 54 air raids in 12 hours.

With its oil-export routes once again under threat, Saudi Arabia is stepping up its military campaign against an old antagonist.

Houthi rebels said Saudi Arabia launched airstrikes in Yemen, as hostilities between Riyadh and the Iran-backed militia escalate toward all-out war.

Smoke billowed from trucks near Al-Wadiah on the Yemen-Saudi border on Sep 7 after Yemen’s Houthis claimed they had attacked vehicles coming from Saudi Arabia. The incident came amid rising US-Iran tensions, with the broader conflict driving oil prices higher as diplomatic efforts faltered.
