Key points

  • Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said Saudi F-15 and Eurofighter Typhoon fighters carried out 28 airstrikes over the past day on Taiz, Marib and al-Jawf provinces; at least four people were killed and three wounded.
  • Saudi Arabia has not commented on the Houthi accusations about the airstrikes.

What happened

Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said Saudi F-15 and Eurofighter Typhoon fighters carried out 28 airstrikes on Yemen over the past 24 hours. The Houthi movement said at least four people were killed and three injured in the attacks. Saudi Arabia has not yet commented on these claims.

Why it matters

The new Houthi claims came amid escalating fighting between the Saudi-backed Yemeni government and the Iran-linked Houthi movement. Previous mimile.kz reports recorded strikes on civilian targets: a Houthi attack on Najran wounded 11 civilians, including a 4-year-old child, and strikes on four Saudi cities and oil facilities wounded 73 people.

What changed

Earlier mimile.kz archive reports described Houthi attacks on Saudi targets — in Najran, on four cities and oil facilities, in the Jizan region, and on an airbase in Khamis Mushait. The new Houthi claims concern Saudi airstrikes on Yemen with civilian casualties.
