Saudi strikes Houthi sites in Yemen as conflict flares
Saudi Arabia struck Houthi military targets in Hodeida, Yemen, on July 25, 2026.
The Houthis announced a maritime blockade of Saudi Arabia and attacked Red Sea shipping.
The Saudi-led coalition destroyed Houthi sites threatening commercial vessels, including a naval base in Hodeida and a military camp on Kamaran island.
The conflict flared after a Saudi ship was attacked in the Red Sea, threatening Saudi oil exports via the Red Sea due to Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
Houthi media reported two people were injured: a worker in Hodeida and a woman on Kamaran island.
