Yemeni Missiles Target Riyadh as Saudi Arabia Weighs Ground Campaign

Ballistic missiles were reportedly launched toward Riyadh for a second consecutive day amid escalating cross-border attacks.

According to Reuters, Saudi Arabia is considering a major ground campaign in Yemen, potentially mobilizing more than 100,000 fighters to reverse recent Houthi gains and recover the strategic Bab el-Mandeb corridor. Operations under consideration range from a limited offensive along the Red Sea coast to simultaneous offensives across several fronts including Taiz, Marib, Al-Bayda and Al-Jawf. The United States is reportedly providing intelligence support, while Pakistan has deployed forces to Saudi Arabia to help defend against missile and drone attacks.
