Saudi-Led Coalition Vows Response After Houthi Attacks Injure 73 Civilians Saudi-led coalition forces have vowed a resolute response after a wave of attacks by Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen reportedly wounded at least 73 civilians, including women and children. The attacks took place early Tuesday, prompting renewed concerns over escalating violence involving the Iran-backed group and the Saudi-led coalition. According to the coalition, the strikes resulted in civilian casualties, with at least 73 people reportedly injured, including women and children. The coalition has condemned the attacks and warned that it would take decisive action in response, raising fears of further military escalation in the region. The latest violence comes amid continuing tensions involving the Houthis, Saudi Arabia and their respective regional allies. The Yemeni rebels have previously carried out missile and drone attacks as part of the wider conflict in Yemen. The reported civilian casualties could further intensify international concerns over the humanitarian consequences of the conflict, particularly as women and children were among those injured. The Saudi-led coalition’s warning of a forceful response also raises the possibility of additional strikes against Houthi positions, potentially deepening the conflict and increasing risks to civilians. Regional and international observers are expected to closely monitor developments as both sides respond to the latest escalation.
