Airstrikes Target Houthi Positions Across Yemen
According to Arab media reports, Saudi warplanes bombed Houthi military positions in several areas, including the capital, Sanaa, as well as Hodeidah, Taiz, Amran, Hajjah, Saada, Al Jawf, Al Dhale and Marib.
Several key installations were reportedly targeted with missiles during the air campaign, resulting in casualties and material damage. However, detailed information about the targets and the full extent of the damage was not provided in the report.

In a retaliatory attack, the Houthi group reportedly fired a projectile towards Najran, a city in southern Saudi Arabia near the Yemeni border. The projectile landed in a residential area.
Saudi authorities said six civilians were injured in the incident. Three houses and three vehicles were also damaged.
