Houthis fire missiles and drones at Saudi Arabia in response to strikes on a Yemeni city

The Houthi rebels have fired missiles and drones into Saudi Arabia in retaliation for recent Saudi airstrikes on the Yemeni city of Hodeida. This move marks another escalation in the conflict, which threatens vital shipping routes in the Middle East. The city of Hodeida is strategically important due to its location along the Red Sea, a critical waterway for global trade. The ongoing tensions highlight the broader geopolitical stakes, as both the U.S. and Iran seek influence in the region, potentially heightening the risk of wider conflict.
