🇾🇪🇸🇦 Houthis claim they shot down a Saudi Wing Loong II armed reconnaissance drone over Yemen’s Marib governorate
Marib is an oil rich province that has long been one of the most contested areas of the war.
The Houthis hold most of north Yemen, and government held Marib city has been the target of their ground offensive.
In a statement, Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said the drone was carrying out “hostile activities” in the governorate’s airspace and was brought down with a “suitable weapon,” without giving further details.

🇸🇦🇮🇷 Saudi Arabia is accusing Iran of emboldening the Houthi intensification of its attacks against the country.
The Kingdom also blamed “unnamed regional actors.”
The Saudi-led coalition fighting the Houthis said the group has acquired advanced weapons technology, including ballistic missiles, attack drones, and speedboats packed with explosives.
The Houthi militia's growing arsenal is already a threat reaching beyond Yemen into Saudi Arabia.
How much farther will it go?

🇾🇪🇮🇷 Iran may want oil prices higher, but the HOUTHIS are the ones STRETCHING THE MARKET right now through the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait
The Red Sea route is the main workaround when Hormuz is tight.
Houthis control parts of the Yemeni coast and islands, and traffic through the strait is still way down.
Recent attacks on Saudi Aramco sites and shipping in the area have kept the risk premium alive even as Gulf crude finds other paths.
Saudi oil has been moving through the East-West pipeline to the Red Sea, which makes Bab-el-Mandeb attacks more relevant, not less.
The market has adapted to Hormuz, but the southern route is still the one that can push prices when it gets hit.

🇸🇦🇾🇪 The Houthis have targeted Riyadh’s airport 20 times this month, and they won’t even sit down to talk.
Saudi Arabia says it asked them to meet in Oman when the fighting started, but they said no, and the 2 sides haven’t spoken since.
The Houthis don’t seem to mind. Earlier this week, one of their leaders said they’d already turned down ceasefire offers of 2 weeks and 1 month.
It’s not hard to see the logic. With Riyadh’s airport shut and oil bosses staying away, every strike gives them more to bargain with.

🇾🇪🇸🇦 Houthi missiles hit Yemen's presidential palace with the prime minister and cabinet inside, killing 5, the first strike on the government's seat this war
The Al-Maashiq palace in Aden took missiles and drones Thursday while the Saudi-backed cabinet was at work.
The ministers walked out alive; five guards and civilian employees didn't, and 16 more are wounded.
The Houthis say they were bombing a "Saudi military operations headquarters" staffed by Saudi officers with weapons depots inside, a claim Reuters couldn't verify.
The coalition says the Houthis launched 20 attacks on Riyadh's airport this month alone, killing 17 and wounding 333, plus three dead at Abha, and that the group now has ballistic missiles, drones and explosive fast boats from "regional actors."
Within the hour the Houthis renewed their warning that every Saudi airport is unsafe, except the airspace over Mecca and Medina.
The Houthis want to break the Saudi economy, airports, oil, the government in Aden, while staying clear of the one thing that would unite the Muslim world against them.
The palace strike says Riyadh's proxy government is now the softest target on the list, and the Turkish and Pakistani troops promised under the Mecca pact are what stand between Aden and the Houthis taking it a second time.

🇾🇪🇸🇦 The Houthis have released footage, claiming they've hit a Saudi jet conducting a hostile operation...
It allegedly shows a locally manufactured surface-to-air missile striking a Saudi Eurofighter Typhoon over Saada province TODAY.
The claim has not been independently verified, and there's no confirmed report an aircraft was downed.
If true, the Houthis' impact in the air may soon overtake their gains made on the ground.

🚨🇸🇦🇾🇪 Satellite images just confirmed the direct hit on Aramco’s headquarters this week...
Aramco’s HQ in Dhahran is the operational and administrative heart of Saudi's oil industry, the world’s largest oil company by production and reserves.
The vast complex houses senior management, key research and operations centers, and thousands of employees.
The Houthis are going straight for the jugular...

أمن الخليج مب باتجاه واحد. يوم كانت الإمارات والبحرين والكويت تتعرض للصواريخ والمسيّرات، اختار البعض ما يدخل في مواجهة مباشرة مع إيران. احترمنا حساباتهم ومصالحهم وقتها، واليوم لا يحق لأحد يطالبنا بموقف كان هو أول من اختار الابتعاد عنه.
