The Saudi-led coalition operating in Yemen reported that 73 civilians, including women and children, sustained injuries during a coordinated series of attacks by Houthi forces. According to coalition spokesperson Turki al-Maliki, the strikes targeted civilian locations in the Saudi cities of Abha, Khamis Mushait, Jazan, and Najran.

In a statement released on the platform X, the coalition characterized the Houthi actions as an escalation and explicitly labeled the group a "terrorist militia." Al-Maliki stated that the coalition intends to respond firmly to the assaults, which he described as attempts to target the Kingdom’s national assets, citizens, and residents.

While both Al Jazeera and Middle East Eye report the same casualty figures and the coalition's intent to retaliate, the outlets differ in their inclusion of specific details regarding the victims. Middle East Eye explicitly notes that the wounded include women and children, whereas Al Jazeera’s initial reporting focused on the general civilian count. There is currently no independent verification of these casualty figures, as the information originates solely from the Saudi-led coalition. The Houthi movement has not yet issued a formal response to these specific allegations or the coalition's vow of a firm response.
