- The Saudi-led coalition reported that 73 civilians were injured in attacks across multiple Saudi cities.

Yemen's Houthi rebels launched ballistic missiles and drones targeting Saudi Arabian oil facilities and the King Khalid Air Base in Khamis Mushait. An intercepted drone over Khamis Mushait shattered windows in the southwestern Saudi city with its low-altitude blast.
Coalition spokesperson Turki Al-Maliki stated that the Houthi attacks injured 73 civilians, including women and children, across the cities of Abha, Khamis Mushait, Jazan, and Najran. Al-Maliki added that the Joint Forces Command will take operational measures to deter the group and neutralize threats.
“Recent attacks by Yemen’s Houthi group targeting Saudi Arabia constitute a dangerous escalation.”
Meanwhile, Houthi officials claimed responsibility for hitting multiple targets, including Abha International Airport, the air base, and Aramco facilities in Abha and Jizan. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea also reported shooting down a Saudi CH-4 reconnaissance drone over Al-Jawf province.
The cross-border attacks followed Houthi accusations that a Saudi-led airstrike on a central prison in Yemen's Al-Jawf province killed seven people, including a child, and wounded at least seven others.
