- Houthi rebels launched drone and missile attacks on Saudi military targets in the eastern Yemeni city of Marib on Friday, according to the source.
- The strikes killed two people and wounded more than a dozen others, per Yemeni reports.
- The attacks were carried out by Iran-backed Houthis, who are targeting Saudi military interests inside Yemen.
- The fresh strikes raise concerns of a widening war in the region, the source notes.
Why it matters: Two killed and over a dozen wounded from Houthi strikes on Saudi military assets inside Yemen underscore the Houthis' continuing ability — with Iranian backing — to strike Saudi targets beyond the kingdom's borders, escalating the cross-border dimension of the conflict.
