Summary
Yemen's Houthi rebels attacked two airports in Saudi Arabia, officials said Monday, days after Saudi-backed Yemeni forces said they retook the Red Sea port of Mokha and areas near the Bab al-Mandab Strait. The Houthis also claimed strikes on Saudi oil facilities and military bases. Saudi-backed forces and a Saudi-led coalition say they have regained additional territory from the Iran-backed Houthis as fighting intensifies along Yemen's western coast.
