    Saudi Arabia vowed on Tuesday to retaliate against Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi militia after attacks by the group injured 73 civilians in the south of the kingdom, according to the Saudi authorities.

    With the latest attacks, which also hit energy facilities in the kingdom, the two sides appeared to be edging toward full-blown war after weeks of escalating tensions.

    The Houthis and the Saudi-backed government of Yemen have been at war since 2014, when the Houthis seized the capital, Sanaa.

    Soon after, Saudi Arabia led a bombing campaign to try to restore the internationally recognized government, plunging Yemen into a devastating civil war until a fragile truce was reached in 2022.

    The fighting has flared again amid the broader six-month war between the United States and Iran, which has roiled energy markets by choking off shipping routes for the export of oil and gas from the Persian Gulf.

    A return to war in Yemen would further threaten the stability of the Middle East and most likely put even more pressure on global energy prices. The Houthis have vowed to attack Saudi energy infrastructure and disrupt the kingdom’s oil export routes in the Red Sea.
