Summary
The Saudi-led coalition and the Houthis, who are supported by Iran, exchanged fire as the ongoing conflict caused further unrest for people in Yemen and the Saudi capital, Riyadh. As the Houthis persist with their attacks, the impact on the leading global oil exporter is widening, leading the Kingdom Centre tower in Riyadh to mandate remote work for its office occupants starting Sunday. In response, the coalition supporting the recognized government has conducted frequent airstrikes against areas of Yemen held by the Houthis. According to the Houthi-run Saba news agency, a reported Saudi air raid in the Saada governorate of northern Yemen resulted in at least nine deaths and 16 injuries on Sunday. Separately, the coalition announced that two pilots died in a helicopter crash near the Yemen border in Najran on Sunday, while the Houthis claimed they had shot down a Saudi Apache helicopter in that vicinity. The coalition attributed the crash to a technical failure, marking the first combat-related deaths for the group since the conflict with the Houthis resumed in July.
