The conflict in Yemen continues to escalate, with Houthi forces launching a large-scale offensive. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of killing three children in shelling. Meanwhile, Houthi forces have accused Saudi Arabia of launching 54 airstrikes within 12 hours and have vowed to retaliate. Attack alarms were triggered in several Saudi Arabian provinces, including Khamis Mushait and Abha, early on Thursday. The World Health Organization stated that since August 24, the conflict has resulted in over 1,000 casualties and displaced tens of thousands of people.
