Saudi Arabia launches artillery and missile attacks in Yemen’s Saada province

Local sources in Yemen reported that Saudi Arabian forces launched a series of artillery and missile strikes on the northern region of Saada province early today. Yemeni media outlets confirmed the bombardment, although no immediate reports of casualties or damage have emerged.

The targeted attacks come amid ongoing tensions in the region, which has been grappling with the effects of the broader conflict between Saudi-led coalition forces and Houthi rebels. Saada province, a stronghold for the Houthis, has been one of the most affected areas since the conflict escalated in 2015.

Details of the assault remain scarce as local authorities have not yet issued an official statement. The situation in the region continues to evolve, and analysts are watching closely for any further developments or humanitarian consequences.

The conflict, which has resulted in widespread devastation across Yemen, has left thousands dead and displaced millions. The bombardment adds to the growing concerns of international aid organizations who have called for a de-escalation of violence to allow for humanitarian assistance to reach those in need.
