Yemen's Houthis have reported massive Saudi airstrikes. According to their claims, over the past 48 hours, the Saudi Air Force carried out 129 strikes across seven provinces: Taiz, Marib, Hodeidah, Al-Jawf, Saada, Amran, and Hajjah. The Houthis say the attacks used F-15 and Typhoon fighters launched from bases in Khamis Mushait and Taif. Group representatives called the strikes aggression and vowed a response. The article notes that the reported intensity of the strikes is based on Houthi claims. It also provides context: US President Donald Trump previously stated that Washington is not interested in a direct conflict with the Houthis, and that the Houthis themselves contacted the US, saying they do not want war.
