Fighting between Houthi forces and Yemen's internationally recognized, Saudi-backed government continued, with footage capturing a suspected Houthi roadside ambush of government forces. Saudi-backed Yemeni forces are meanwhile intensifying a counteroffensive against the Houthis on Yemen's western coast. Separately, Saudi Arabia vowed to respond after Houthi attacks on Saudi cities and energy facilities injured 73 people and sparked fires at oil facilities, underscoring the risk of the Yemeni civil war spilling further into direct Saudi-Houthi confrontation.
