The developments came as Gulf states postponed talks with Iran over reopening the Strait of Hormuz, raising fresh concerns over the conflict’s impact on regional stability and global oil supplies.

The Iran-aligned Houthis said they fired dozens of missiles and drones at a military airbase in Khamis Mushait, targeting aircraft hangars, radar systems, runways and ammunition depots. Saudi authorities issued emergency alerts in several southern cities, while the Saudi-led coalition said 13 civilians were injured.

Houthi forces have continued to strengthen their positions along Yemen's western coast, including taking Perim Island at the mouth of the Red Sea. Saudi and Yemeni air forces have stepped up strikes on Houthi targets, including around the Red Sea port of Mocha.

Strait of Hormuz tensions deepen

Planned talks between Iran and Gulf states on reopening the Strait of Hormuz were postponed, while conflicting reports emerged over an oil tanker damaged in the region. The Revolutionary Guard said the waterway remained under its control and was closed.
