The fears of an escalating regional conflict in the Middle East are growing, as Saudi Arabia and Yemen’s Houthis continue to exchange strikes. Officials say Saudi air defence systems intercepted two missiles targeting oil refineries on Saturday. Late on Friday, the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen said it had struck Houthi military sites in the country. The Iran-backed militant group also claimed responsibility for targeting two Saudi tankers in the Red Sea on Thursday. The latest exchange comes after the group announced a naval blockade of Saudi Arabia earlier this week. The dispute follows the U.S.-Iran conflict, fueling fears of a wider regional conflict and further global trade disruptions.
