Israel Intercepts First Missile from Yemen; US Troops Wounded in Saudi Arabia
Israel's military has intercepted a missile launched from Yemen, marking the first such interception since the war began, while at least 12 US troops were reportedly injured in an Iranian attack on the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia.

The Iranian strike on a US base in Saudi Arabia further highlights the direct engagement of major powers and the potential for wider regional instability. These events underscore the increasing complexity and danger of the conflict, with implications for international security and global energy markets.
