- Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia ignited fires at oil facilities and wounded 73 people, per AP News.
- Pakistan warned Iran directly to rein in the Houthis and said the attacks could activate a defense pact, per Reuters and Al Jazeera.
Why it matters: Pakistan's public warning to Iran and its suggestion that a defense pact could be activated mark an escalation beyond routine diplomatic posturing, while the 73 wounded and fires at Saudi oil facilities show the Houthis retain the capability to strike infrastructure deep inside the kingdom.
