Yemeni Forces Launch New Attacks Against Saudi Targets

According to Saednews, According to statements from the Yemeni military, large salvos of ballistic missiles, rockets, and drones struck locations in Khamis Mushait, Najran, Jizan, and Abha.

The operations targeted military positions, including airbases and command centers, as well as energy infrastructure belonging to Saudi state oil company Aramco and other oil facilities in the south. Fires were reported at several sites, while temporary disruptions affected some energy installations.

Saudi sources said dozens of people were injured in earlier waves of the strikes. More recent operations reportedly targeted a military base in the Sharurah area of Najran and positions near the border.

The Yemeni side described the attacks as a response to repeated Saudi airstrikes on Yemeni territory. Ansarullah has reported more than 100 Saudi airstrikes during short periods, including 129 strikes over 48 hours against provinces such as Taiz, Marib, Hodeidah, al-Jawf, Saada, and others.

The Yemeni Armed Forces had previously warned that continued military operations and the blockade would be met with firm responses against the sources of the attacks.

Meanwhile, Yemen’s western coast is facing severe disruptions to healthcare services following the rapid advance of the Yemeni Armed Forces against Saudi-backed forces. Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has warned of major gaps in the hospital system, even as essential medical services continue at key facilities.

Lou Cormack, Yemen Country Director for Doctors Without Borders, described the situation in comments to Al Jazeera. She said that over the weekend, all hospitals had been evacuated, leaving essential services at Mocha General Hospital as the only available medical care for a period.

“We are seeing that some of the hospitals are starting to come back online, but the system still has huge gaps and we are trying to find people just to keep the hospitals running,” Cormack said.

She also emphasized the impact on civilians, particularly those who depend on routine medical care. “It’s a big population on the west coast and like all communities, they need just everyday access to healthcare. Mums keep delivering, babies still keep getting sick, life just goes on and if there’s nowhere to access care then people can die as a result of that.”
