On Saturday, an attack struck Riyadh, causing the heaviest toll on Saudi soil in more than a decade, marking a significant escalation in the Yemen war, reports France 24.
Riyadh supports the internationally recognized Yemeni government in its fight against the Houthis, who recently launched a swift offensive and captured substantial portions of the Red Sea coast.
In response to this attack, the coalition led by Saudi Arabia has promised a firm reply, though concrete options remain to be defined, according to analysis by Dr. Nawaf Obaid, a researcher at King’s College London.
