On Monday, the Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen reported that 13 civilians sustained injuries during a series of attacks launched by Houthi forces. According to coalition spokesperson Turki al-Maliki, the strikes targeted civilian infrastructure across the Saudi cities of Khamis Mushait, Abha, and Taif.

The coalition stated that the attacks resulted in minor to moderate injuries among the civilian population. Additionally, the strikes caused physical damage to at least seven homes and two vehicles in the affected areas. The coalition characterized the incident as a deliberate and repeated assault on civilian targets, labeling the Houthi movement a "terrorist militia."

This incident is part of a long-standing conflict between the Saudi-led coalition and the Houthi movement, which has frequently involved cross-border missile and drone strikes into Saudi territory. While the coalition provided details regarding the casualties and infrastructure damage, there has been no immediate response or confirmation from Houthi leadership regarding the specific claims made by the coalition spokesperson. The report focuses primarily on the coalition's account of the event, highlighting the impact on civilian property and safety within the kingdom.
