On August 6, 2026, Saudi Arabia reported that eleven civilians were injured in attacks by Houthi forces on border towns in the southern region of Jazan. The Saudi-led coalition said the attacks involved drones and ballistic missiles, which were intercepted, but debris caused injuries and property damage.
The injured were taken to local hospitals, with conditions reported as stable. The coalition also stated that it had carried out retaliatory strikes against Houthi military targets in Yemen, though details were not immediately available.
The Houthis have not yet claimed responsibility for the attacks. This incident is part of a series of cross-border escalations that have occurred despite ongoing peace efforts. The United Nations has called for restraint and a return to negotiations.
