Houthis: 38 Saudi airstrikes and missile attacks in the past 24 hours, with F-15s and Typhoons flying out of Khamis Mushait and Taif. They put the running total at 1,123 since the escalation began.

NEW: Chiefs of staff from Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan will convene under the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement, the pact signed in August 2026 treating an attack on one member as an attack on all three.

The trigger: escalating Houthi missile and drone attacks on Saudi sites, including near Yanbu and Taif. No military deployment or combat support has been requested.

Coalition statement.

Saudi military spokesman Gen. Turki al-Maliki:

Saudi air defenses intercepted and destroyed a Houthi ballistic missile launched at Riyadh before dawn. Further attempts on civilians and civilian sites in Bish, Ta'if, Farsan and Yanbu were all thwarted.

Al-Maliki called the Houthi escalation deliberate and systematic terrorist behavior, and said the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen retains the natural right to act as it sees fit to deter them.

NOW: Sirens are currently sounding in the Taif, Jazan, Yanbu, Khamis Mushait and Jeddah Governorates.

It appears that the Houthis are launching a large scale attack on Saudi Arabia. This is huge.

Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman Yahya Saree claims Yemen used indigenous air defense missiles to engage two formations of Saudi Typhoon and F-15 fighter jets that had taken off from Khamis Mushait and Taif bases. The confrontation forced an immediate withdrawal from Saada's airspace.
