Houthis claim missile attack on southern Saudi Arabia

Yemen's Houthis have claimed a missile attack on the southern Saudi city of Jizan, the group's Ansarollah media posted on Telegram, according to AFP.

Saudi Arabia issued brief warnings to residents in Jizan and Yanbu this morning, urging them to remain alert and avoid gatherings.

Earlier, the Houthi Foreign Ministry blamed Saudi Arabia for an attack on facilities belonging to the Telecommunications Corporation in the city of Hodeidah, saying it will lead to “escalation for escalation”.
