Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said Saudi Arabia has carried out 1,018
air and missile strikes since the escalation began, using F-15 and Typhoon
fighters launched from KHAMIS MUSHAIT, Taif and other bases to strike Marib,
Saada, Hodeidah, Taiz, Jawf and Al Bayda, causing civilian casualties including
women and children and damaging civilian infrastructure. In response, Houthi
forces said they conducted two operations targeting Riyadh and ARAMCO facilities
in Yanbu using ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones, and claimed
success. Saree said Saudi action will not stop Houthi reprisals and vowed to
"respond to blockade with blockade, escalation with escalation" until Saudi
Arabia ceases operations and lifts the blockade.
