Yemen’s military says Saudi jets struck five provinces 54 times in 24 hours.

Military spokesman Yahya Saree warned the strikes “will not go unanswered,” raising the risk of wider escalation.

Saree said domestic air defenses forced jets back over Saada, though the toll is not independently confirmed.

Whether the coalition or independent outlets confirm the toll remains open.
