Saudi Arabia expects imminent attacks from north and south, senior official says
Saudi officials said intelligence from multiple countries points to coordinated attacks on energy facilities, ports and airports in the very near future.
- On Thursday, a Saudi official told CNN that Saudi Arabia is bracing for "multiple coordinated attacks" from Iraqi militias and Iran-backed Houthis threatening to widen the Middle East conflict.
- The official cited "multiple intelligence reports" from Saudi Arabia, the US and regional countries indicating Iraqi militias coordinating with the Houthis plan to strike "in the very near future" under Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps guidance.
- Potential targets include "mostly civilian and economic installations," the official added; shortly after, a Houthi attack on Thursday injured 11 civilians in southern Saudi Arabia near the Yemen border.
- Seven Saudi nationals, including a woman and a 4-year-old child with second-degree burns, suffered injuries alongside a Yemeni national, two Egyptians and one Pakistani; the Saudi-led coalition denounced the shelling as indiscriminate.
- Despite the reports, Saudi Arabia continues pursuing de-escalation efforts and contacts with Iraqi authorities, aiming to end the seven-year conflict that created one of the world's worst humanitarian crises.
