Houthis Pummel Southwest Saudi Arabia With Ballistic Missiles, As Yemen Air & Ground War Erupts
Houthis Pummel Southwest Saudi Arabia With Ballistic Missiles, As Yemen Air & Ground War Erupts
The heaviest fighting since the Iran war began is taking place in Yemen currently, also involving significant overnight attacks on Saudi energy and military sites by the Houthis.
The Houthis have since unveiled new operations, in a Tuesday statement saying the Iran-aligned group is targeting critical Saudi oil and military infrastructure. Widely circulating local videos suggest the attacks on multiple sites were in some case simultaneous and overwhelming.
"In response to this brutal aggression and in confronting comprehensive escalation with comprehensive escalation, the YAF carried out a large-scale … operation, targeting Aramco facilities in Abha and Najran, the Economic City, Aramco in Jizan, and Khamis Mushait Air Base, using dozens of ballistic missiles and drones," said the Houthi statement.
"The strikes, by God's grace, were accurate and direct and caused significant damage to those facilities," it added.
The kingdom's Energy Ministry has indeed acknowledged fires and operations stoppages at several sites as a result, as well as damage and injured personnel.
"Several energy sector facilities and installations in the southern region of the kingdom were targeted this morning," the energy ministry stated.
"The attacks caused fires at several locations, leading to a temporary halt in some operations. Specialized field teams have begun containing the fires, securing the sites, and assessing the damage," the statement said. Aramco sites have been targeted on multiple occasions this summer, resulting in operations halts, particularly at key sites near the Yemeni border. Damage is still being assessed at the Aramco Jisan oil facilities, which were targeted yet again.
Also military and supply missions were hit, with the Houthi statement also indicating the destruction of Saudi military equipment and convoys of Saudi-backed forces of the internationally-recognized government.
For anyone putting a lot of faith in those pipelines that bypass Hormuz...
"Arms trucks coming from Saudi Arabia were targeted and caught fire at the Al-Wadiah military camp," the Houthis stated.
In response later on Tuesday, Saudi airstrikes have reportedly resumed on Yemen in the governorates of Al-Jawf, Al-Bayda, Ma'rib, Taiz, and Al-Hudaydah. Already the death toll is mounting from these renewed strikes:
Houthi rebels in Yemen accused Saudi Arabia of striking a prison on Monday in the country’s north, killing seven, including a child, as tensions escalate between the Iran-backed group and Saudi-backed Yemeni forces.
The strike on the Central Corrective Facility in the strategic city of Hazm in Jawf province also wounded at least seven people, including a woman, said Anees al-Asbahi, a spokesman for the Houthi-run health ministry.
The prison’s warden told the Houthi al-Masirah news channel 35 prisoners and a woman who was visiting her husband were trapped under the rubble.
The Saudi side has meanwhile said that dozens were injured in the Houthi attacks. Major General Turki Al-Maliki, spokesman for the Saudi-led Coalition Forces, blasted the new Houthi aggression as "dangerous" and "senseless" - and announced that at lest 73 people have been wounded, including women and children.
Both sides are now vowing escalation:
Houthi military spokesperson Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree accused Saudi Arabia of launching airstrikes and “committing massacres” in Jawf, as well as deploying a reconnaissance drone and supplying mercenaries with various weaponry.
“The ongoing Saudi aggression against Yemen will not go unanswered or unpunished,” he said.
The aerial war is additionally heating up: "Saree said later Monday that Houthi forces downed a total of four reconnaissance drones belonging to Saudi Arabia over the past 24 hours, including one that was spotted Monday morning in Bayda province," as cited in The Associated Press.
Oil prices on world markets continue to steadily inch higher, rising more than 1% as a result of Tuesday's Saudi-Yemen escalation.
The Saudi coalition says it aims to liberate the country's capital of Sanaa from the Iran-backed rebels. "The decision has been made to retake Sana’a. There are surprises we will not reveal now," the Deputy Defense Minister Major General Samir Al-Sabri told state-run Yemen TV.
The Yemeni army further released a statement saying that "From today, we declare that our goal is clear and unequivocal: to liberate Yemen from the grip of the terrorist Houthi militias and restore Sana’a as a capital for all Yemenis."
This appears a return to the kind of bull-blown war in Yemen which marked the latter half of the last decade. But this time it's more complicated and dangerous in terms of regional spillover, given it comes in the context of the Iran conflict, the Strait of Hormuz crisis, and Houthi efforts to close Red Sea shipping to the Saudis, Israelis, and their allies.
Below are more developments via Al Jazeera:
- Saudi Arabia has carried out new attacks in Yemen against al-Jubah district in Marib, in the Houthi-controlled part of the country, according to a news report in Houthi-run media.
- Forces loyal to Yemen’s internationally recognised government have launched a counteroffensive against the Houthi rebels, with officials saying they aim to recapture the capital Sanaa from the Iran-backed group.
- The Houthis say they repelled an offensive in al-Jawf, and at least seven people were killed in an air strike on a prison in the town of al-Hazm, pledging that the “aggression will not go unpunished”.
- Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud has described Yemen’s Houthi rebels as “selfish” for putting their own interests above the welfare of the country’s people. “The Houthis choose to prioritise their narrow interests over the interests of Yemen and resort to violence,” he said at a news conference in the Russian capital.
- Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has told his Saudi counterpart, Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, in Moscow that Russia is ready to help resolve the spiralling situation in the Middle East.

Karmelo Anthony seen holding guns, spewing hateful rants in newly revealed documents
Karmelo Anthony posed with guns and went on racist, violent rants over text messages before he fatally stabbed Austin Metcalf, according to a trove of new documents.
The 75-page dossier, obtained by the Daily Mail, offers insight into Anthony’s disturbing past — and was never revealed to jurors during his murder trial as part of a “gentleman’s agreement” between prosecutors and his defense team.
Photos show Anthony flashing a handgun in a screenshot of a video he recorded in November 2024, just five months before he killed Metcalf in a tent at a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas.
Another image from May 2024 shows the then-16-year-old Anthony holding an AK-47-style rifle with three other teenagers.
A third video shows Anthony aiming a gun at a residence and then running away on Jan. 4, 2025, according to the Mail. It’s not clear whose home it was.

Talk to the Hand: Karen Bass Snubs Congress, Too Busy to Explain Where All the Money Went
On September 3, a House Oversight subcommittee politely asked Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass to sit before them and give testimony about alleged “waste, fraud and abuse” involving more than $1 billion in federal homelessness funding funneled through the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority(LAHSA).
I made a prediction at the time:
The $64,000 question is: will she show? My guess is no — the mayor will conveniently find she’s scheduled to attend an important event in Ghana or something. If she does, however, you can bet I’ll plop down on the couch with a can of cold beverage and enjoy the show.
Turns out I’ll have to pop open my cold beverage on another occasion, because, of course, she’s going to be a no-show:
LOS ANGELES: According to her office, Mayor Karen Bass will not travel to Washington, D.C., to testify before Congress after being called to appear over concerns about how federal homelessness funds have been spent in Los Angeles.
Her office says Bass has a scheduling conflict and will not attend the Sept. 15 hearing. The city says it is cooperating with the congressional records request.
The letter gave no reason for her refusal to show up as requested and what was so important that she would thumb her nose at the committee:
The California Post obtained a copy of a letter the mayor’s team sent to the Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency shooting down its efforts to grill her in Washington, DC, over money given to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA).
Bass’ legal counsel, David Michaelson, said “unfortunately the mayor is not available on that date,” in reference to the DOGE panel’s requested September 15 appearance.
“We have contacted the Subcommittee staff to discuss this issue,” the letter added.
It’s not clear why Bass can’t attend on that date, and her team did not give a reason in the letter.
Bass was famously out of the country attending a presidential inauguration in Ghana when the devastating LA wildfires started and went on to burn down entire neighborhoods in the Pacific Palisades and Malibu areas. She had been warned that conditions were ripe for a major conflagration; it was dry, hot, and massive winds were sweeping the region — the perfect combo.
Wonder what she’s doing now instead of being transparent about the apparently epic level of fraud going down in the homeless industrial complex right under her nose?
The letter said she will, however, provide documents the committee requested, including specific communications between the mayor’s office, LAHSA, and the L.A. County Board of Supervisors going back to 2020. The Trump administration already pulled federal funding for the agency in June as the Department of Housing and Urban Development accused them of "obvious fraud" and "wanton mismanagement."
But inquiring minds want to know, Karen, straight from the horse’s mouth — where did all that money go?
Clearly, the only way to get her to show up is with a subpoena, and there’s no guarantee she’ll honor that either.
Many readers of these stories come to a natural conclusion: “Vote her out!” Unfortunately for Angelenos, the Democratic socialist running against her in November’s election, Councilwoman Nithya Raman (LA-4), is arguably even worse and is just as extreme as you’d expect a good DSA leader to be. She wanted to ban barbecues on days where the fire warning is high; although an alleged arsonist has been accused of starting the Palisades fire, Raman’s response was to attempt to punish regular, law-abiding citizens.
That tells you all you need to know about her.
The fact that Bass even got through the primary and has a good shot at winning reelection is insane considering her awful record on homelessness and her feckless response to the fires.
Don’t look to her for answers, though: the only one you’ll likely get is, “Talk to the hand, because the face ain’t listening.”
