One development in Southwest Yemen clashes
Fighting between Houthi forces, Yemeni government troops and the Saudi-led coalition has intensified, with wounded patients overwhelming front-line hospitals and supply shortages worsening in besieged areas.
Recent Houthi strikes on Saudi Arabia have mainly targeted key infrastructure on the outskirts of Riyadh, but they appear to be edging closer to the city centre. Houthi attacks on Riyadh s King Khalid international airport over the weekend killed 14 people and wounded more than 300 others. Houthi attacks have also been reported on other airports, including Abha international airport in southern Saudi Arabia, where two people were killed, and on Saudi Aramco energy facilities.
