In a post on the social media platform X, Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said the targets also included oil facilities belonging to Saudi giant Aramco.
The escalation follows reports from Houthi-linked media that 22 people were killed in Saudi airstrikes in the Sanaa area, which is under the movement’s control.
According to Al Jazeera, the death toll has reached 22, including women and children, while about 30 others have been injured.
During October, the Houthis have carried out missile and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia almost every day. In recent days, fighting in Yemen appears to have intensified.
