The Houthi-run Saba news agency said Saudi Arabia struck Jawf, Bayda, Marib and Taiz provinces with airstrikes and cruise missiles. Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said the group shot down a Saudi armed reconnaissance aircraft over Jawf and three Saudi reconnaissance drones in 24 hours; AP could not verify the claims and there was no immediate Saudi comment. Yemen's government forces said they carried out 13 airstrikes on Houthi positions and a missile launch base in Bayda, and hit Houthi fronts in Dhale and Marib.
