What happened AI summary
- The Saudi-led coalition said Houthi drones struck a power station in Medina, and reported intercepting drones and ballistic missiles over Khamis Mushait and other southern areas; the Houthis denied hitting Islam's second-holiest city.
- Saudi Arabia said the Houthis had tried to target Mecca and Medina several times over nine years, while the group later declared Saudi airspace a military target but said it was excluding the two holy cities.
- Reuters and others reported Riyadh was preparing a large offensive, and Yemen's presidential council then declared a campaign to retake Houthi-held territory, with around 100 Saudi jets covering ground forces around the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
