SanaaYemen’s government forces say they are striking Sanaa and Saada.
Hours earlier, the Houthis claimed a missile and drone attack on an Aramco facility near Riyadh.
The front was quiet under a 2022 truce, but fighting resumed after the Houthis declared a naval blockade of Saudi Arabia in July.
Riyadh has not confirmed Houthi-run Al-Masirah’s claim of 26 Saudi strikes on Sanaa or that the Aramco site was attacked.
Saudi Arabia is reported to be weighing operations on several fronts to push the Houthis back from the Red Sea route.
