Yemen's Houthi movement launched ballistic missiles and drones at Riyadh and Aramco facilities in Yanbu, marking the first such strikes on the Saudi capital in the renewed fighting; explosions and a large plume of smoke were reported near King Khalid International Airport, causing flight disruptions before Saudi authorities said the threat had passed. The Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted the missiles and separately shot down a Houthi drone near Mecca, while Yemeni government forces claimed to have repelled a Houthi infiltration in Marib, killing a dozen fighters, and a BBC-verified video showed the wreckage of a Saudi F-15 shot down over Yemen.//The escalation has drawn in Turkey, which pledged to assist Saudi Arabia militarily and examine its defense needs, while the US and other governments issued security alerts and travel warnings. The fighting has also driven a worsening refugee crisis, with over 2,700 Yemenis fleeing to Djibouti, and prompted Yemeni women to resume wartime support efforts such as baking supplies for front-line fighters as the Houthis reportedly eye Yemen's oil-rich east after seizing the Red Sea coast.
