Summary
Saudi Arabia said it would retaliate after Houthi attacks injured 73 civilians across four southern regions of the kingdom.
Four regions were hit, according to the Saudi foreign ministry, though authorities did not say when the strikes occurred.
The attacks come after weeks of rising tension between the Houthis and Yemen's Saudi-backed government, reviving fears that Yemen's war could widen again.
A renewed Yemen front would add to disruption from the 6-month U.S.-Iran war, threatening Saudi energy infrastructure and Red Sea oil export routes.
