Saudi Arabia intercepted six Houthi ballistic missiles aimed at Taif and Yanbu on Thursday, while France announced it would deploy military assets to protect the Red Sea oil terminal. The strikes occurred as renewed fighting in Yemen killed at least 150 fighters and government forces in the past 24 hours.
Saudi Arabia Deflects Missile Barrage
Saudi Arabia intercepted six ballistic missiles launched by the Houthis on Thursday, successfully thwarting attacks on the cities of Taif and Yanbu. The Saudi-led coalition, which has supported Yemen's government since 2015, confirmed the interceptions and warned that further escalations by the Houthi militia would be met firmly. Earlier, the Saudi Civil Defence issued alerts for several regions, including Mecca, before lifting them minutes later.
The Houthis claimed responsibility for launching a complex barrage involving both missiles and drones targeting command centres and weapons depots in southern Saudi Arabia. They also stated that Yemeni and Sudanese fighters were among those killed and injured in the attack, alongside Saudi personnel. The group further alleged that it launched cross-border strikes against Aramco infrastructure in Yanbu and an unnamed site in Riyadh.
France Steps In to Protect Yanbu
French President Emmanuel Macron announced that France planned to send military assets, including soldiers, radars, and defence systems, to protect the Yanbu oil terminal. Yanbu serves as Saudi Arabia's primary crude export terminal on the Red Sea and is connected to Gulf coast oil-producing regions via the East-West pipeline, also known as Petroline. The infrastructure in and around Yanbu forms a key node in Saudi Arabia's vast network of energy installations.
The Houthis have imposed a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia, hitting its tankers and territory while seizing swathes of Yemen's Red Sea coast. This has cemented the hold of Iran and its allies on the two waterways that the Gulf region relies on to ship oil and fuel products. France's intervention comes as pressure mounts on Saudi Arabia amid the escalating conflict.
Renewed Fighting in Yemen Claims Lives
At least 150 Houthi fighters and government forces members have been killed in the past 24 hours, according to sources from both sides speaking to AFP. The Houthis later claimed to have launched attacks across the border that targeted Aramco infrastructure in Yanbu and an unnamed site in Riyadh. At least 52 Houthi fighters were also killed in other clashes, according to two sources from the group.
Battles raged on the ground in Yemen, with many killed in clashes in the Kahboub Mountains and areas between the Lahj and Taiz regions. The Houthis seek to dominate the highlands overlooking Bab al-Mandab to protect newly seized territory. The renewed hostilities shattered a fragile 2022 truce after the group allowed an Iranian plane to land in Sanaa in defiance of Riyadh's control over Yemeni airspace.
