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.
