Saudi Apache Gunships Enter the Fight After Houthi Missile Barrage The Saudi-Houthi confrontation escalated further Monday as Saudi Apache attack helicopters reportedly struck Houthi positions along the Al-Mokha–Bab al-Mandab front. The strikes came after the Houthis launched a large barrage of ballistic missiles and drones toward Saudi Arabia’s King Khalid Air Base earlier in the day. Unlike earlier exchanges dominated by long-range missiles and drones, the reported use of Apache helicopters points to a more direct Saudi military response near the strategically critical Bab al-Mandab corridor. Several Houthi naval personnel were reportedly killed, though that casualty claim has not yet been independently confirmed.
