A recent attack by Yemen’s Houthi rebels in Saudi Arabia’s Najran province wounded eleven civilians, according to a Saudi-led military coalition. The incident occurred on Thursday, with the coalition reporting the casualties on Friday. Reuters cites an anonymous Saudi official suggesting intelligence indicates potential coordinated attacks. These attacks could involve both Houthi rebels and Iraqi militias. This raises concerns about escalating regional instability and a broadening of the conflict. The Saudi-led coalition has been engaged in a military intervention in Yemen since 2015, supporting the Yemeni government against the Houthis. Further details regarding the nature of the attack are still emerging.
