Fighting between the Saudi-led coalition and Iran-backed Houthis intensified over the weekend, with Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree saying Saudi forces launched 110 air strikes and missile attacks across Yemen in 24 hours, killing or injuring more than 30 people; a Saudi strike reportedly killed nine Houthi fighters. The Houthis struck Marib with missiles and injured six people in a strike on Najran, Saudi Arabia, while two Saudi coalition helicopter pilots were killed in a crash the coalition attributed to a technical fault but Houthis disputed. Riyadh's landmark Kingdom Centre skyscraper ordered mandatory remote work amid the disruption, days after a Houthi attack on Riyadh's airport killed 13 people, and Saudi authorities warned against publicizing details of strikes. Egypt's President Sisi sought parliamentary approval to deploy Egyptian forces in support of Saudi Arabia, though Egypt's parliament twice postponed the vote; Egyptian and Saudi foreign ministers separately discussed de-escalation.
