00:16The Houthis have reportedly launched a large drone and missile attack targeting King Khalid
00:24Air Base, Saudi military positions, and energy infrastructure. And the choice of target is
00:31significant. Reports say the salvo included ballistic missiles and drones, with Saudi oil
00:38facilities also reportedly coming under attack. Footage circulating from the area appears to show
00:46a drone being shot down above rooftops near Qamis Mushait. King Khalid Air Base is one of Saudi
00:54Arabia's key military installations. The base houses a major part of the Saudi fighter fleet,
01:02including aircraft involved in military operations over Yemen. So if the reported attack is confirmed,
01:09this is not simply another cross-border strike. It would represent a direct attempt to hit a
01:16critical Saudi military hub, while also putting energy infrastructure at risk.
01:23There are also reports of a Yemeni missile attack impacting Abha. Saudi officials say Houthi attacks
01:30across the southern region have injured dozens of people. The latest developments come amid an
01:37escalating confrontation between the Houthis and Saudi forces. And this time, the reported targets
01:44appear to stretch across both military and energy infrastructure. That is what makes this attack
01:51particularly important. Saudi Arabia is a major global oil producer, so any confirmed damage to key
02:00energy facilities could have consequences far beyond the immediate battlefield. It could raise
02:06concerns over Saudi oil operations, regional security, and even global energy markets. But there is an
02:14important caveat. These are developing reports. The full extent of the damage, the exact targets hit,
02:22and the final casualty figures have not yet been independently established. What is being reported,
02:30however, is a large and coordinated drone and missile salvo aimed at southern Saudi Arabia. And with King Khalid
02:38Air Base reportedly among the targets, the escalation could have serious implications for the wider Yemen
02:45conflict. The message from the Houthis appears clear. Saudi military bases and critical infrastructure are now
02:54firmly in the line of fire. And if these reports are confirmed, this could signal a new and more dangerous
03:01phase in the conflict.
