Iran-backed Houthis have claimed that Saudi Arabia has launched 28 airstrikes across Houthi-held areas in Yemen in the last 24 hours, WION reported. This comes a day after the Houthis attacked Saudi Arabia's capital, Riyadh, with drones and ballistic missiles. Meanwhile, the US State Department has issued a security alert for the Middle East as Houthi-Saudi fighting intensified.
