Houthis escalate attacks on Saudi Arabia amid ongoing regional tensions

Yemen's Houthi rebels resumed attacks on Saudi Arabia in July 2025, following a ceasefire in 2022. This escalation was triggered by an airstrike on Sanaa's airport that disrupted a flight from Iran. The Houthis declared a blockade on Saudi shipping, threatening global oil supplies. The U.S. and Israel responded with airstrikes, but tensions remain high as the Houthis continue to target Saudi interests.
