What happened
Renewed fighting erupted in Yemen after a truce collapsed, with the Houthis targeting Shabwa with three ballistic missiles. The Houthis also cut a road linking government-held Shabwa with Houthi-controlled Al-Bayda province. Separately, repeated Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia led to the Kingdom Centre in Riyadh ordering mandatory remote working. The King Khalid International Airport remains closed following a major Houthi attack.

Why it matters
The sustained military conflict between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia has reignited. Attacks on Saudi infrastructure, such as the King Khalid International Airport, have caused operational closures. The attacks have also prompted businesses in Riyadh to mandate remote working.
