There is a major flare-up of violence in the Middle East today. Houthi fighters, who are based in Yemen, have launched a new wave of missile strikes into Saudi Arabia.
Alerts went off in six different Saudi cities as the missiles came in. This is a big escalation in a conflict that has been going on for a long time. The Saudi government says they are ready to respond to these attacks.
Other countries are starting to get involved, too. Pakistan has officially promised to stand by Saudi Arabia. They said they will honor a security agreement and help defend the country if it is attacked.
Meanwhile, the situation is getting even more complicated. Reports say the Houthis have also taken control of the city of Mocha. Because of the fighting, the United Nations Security Council is holding an urgent meeting to talk about what is happening in Yemen and how to stop the violence from spreading further.
Right now, people are watching closely to see what happens next. This news comes just as a new agreement—sometimes called the 'Mecca Defense Agreement'—is being put to the test by these latest strikes.
