Iran-backed Houthis claim missile attack on Saudi Arabia

BBC · back to the audit
The Iranian-backed Houthis have claimed a missile attack on Saudi Arabia, after Riyadh launched strikes on targets linked to the group on Friday. Early on Saturday, the Houthis' Ansarollah media said on Telegram that a Yemeni missile strike had caused fires in the Saudi city of Jizan. Saudi authorities had issued emergency alerts for the province. It came as there were no overnight reports of air strikes in the wider region by the US or Iran for the first time in two weeks.
