Things are getting dangerous between Yemen and Saudi Arabia. Houthi rebels recently launched a new round of attacks using missiles and drones.
One of these attacks hit an iconic Saudi Aramco tower in the capital city of Riyadh. Saudi officials say they managed to intercept most of the incoming weapons, but the damage to the tower shows the strikes are still a serious threat.
There is also a lot of talk about where the rebels are aiming. Saudi officials suggested the rebels were trying to hit the holy city of Mecca. The Houthis have strongly denied this, saying they did not target the holy site.
These attacks come at a tense time. The United Nations just decided to keep sanctions—or penalties—in place against the Houthi group to try and slow down their military progress.
For now, the fighting is intense and both sides remain at a standoff.
