Riyadh: Thirteen civilians were injured in ballistic missile and drone attacks carried out by Yemen's Houthi group on three Saudi cities, the Saudi-led coalition said early Tuesday.

According to Anadolu Agency, Coalition spokesman Turki al-Malki stated that the attacks targeted Khamis Mushait, Abha, and Taif on Monday, resulting in injuries ranging from minor to moderate for the victims. Additionally, seven homes and two vehicles sustained damage during the attacks.

Al-Malki accused the Houthis of intentionally targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure and mentioned that the coalition would implement measures to deter further attacks under the right to self-defense. Meanwhile, the General Directorate of Saudi Civil Defense issued "potential danger" alerts early Tuesday in six cities: Jeddah, Yanbu, Taif, Abha, Jazan, and Alula. However, it later announced that the danger "has passed."

The statement was released after Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree reported on Monday that Saudi warplanes had conducted 54 strikes across five Yemeni provinces over the previous 24 hours. Saree noted the use of F-15 and Typhoon fighter jets in the strikes and warned of potential retaliation.

Earlier on Monday, the Houthis had claimed responsibility for a large-scale missile and drone attack on King Khalid Air Base in Khamis Mushait and threatened to expand operations against Saudi Arabia. The confrontations between Yemen's internationally recognized government's forces and the Houthis have intensified since early July following a period of relative calm. The conflict in Yemen began when the Houthis seized the capital Sanaa and several provinces in 2014, prompting a Saudi-led Arab coalition to intervene in 2015 in support of the internationally recognized government.
