Houthi strikes widen as Yemen conflict nears Djibouti base

Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi movement says it has launched new attacks on Saudi Arabia as fighting intensifies after the collapse of a ceasefire, with the rebels said to be closing in on the U.S. military base in Djibouti. The 12-year war between Yemen’s internationally recognized government and the Houthis has sparked a surge in displacement, with tens of thousands of Yemenis fleeing this month, while both sides accuse the other of escalation amid broader regional tensions surrounding Iran’s proxies.
