Saudi Arabia mulls military escalation in response to Houthi threats
Saudi Arabia is considering military escalation against the Houthis following recent threats and a breach of a ceasefire. The US has reportedly given Saudi leeway to pursue offensive strikes, but no final decision has been made. The Houthis recently fired missiles and drones at Saudi Arabia after accusing them of attacking Sanaa airport, which disrupted a flight carrying Houthi officials and foreign military experts.
