Saudi state media also reported a string of drone and rocket attacks by Yemeni forces on targets in the city of Jeddah.

Over a million Saudi citizens in Jeddah are under pressure as they face evictions and forced demolitions of their houses executed by the government.

The controversial “Jeddah Central Project” will include four landmarks: an opera house, museum, sports stadium, and oceanarium.

Yemen’s information minister says Yemeni army troops and their allies will launch “more painful and crippling” retaliatory strikes in case the Saudi-led military aggression and brutal siege persist.

The Yemeni army says it has carried out fresh attacks against Saudi positions in the kingdom's east.
