Houthis widen Iran conflict with missiles aimed at Israeli sites

Houthis, allied with Iran, claim ballistic missiles hit sensitive Israeli military sites, expanding the US-Israel campaign against Iran; Israel says it intercepted one missile; the conflict threatens Red Sea and Hormuz chokepoints and global trade, with attacks also hitting a Saudi airbase and Kuwait’s radar. Pakistan hosts a regional meeting with Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt to seek de-escalation, while Ukraine-UAE defense ties and reported US cluster-munition use add to the volatility and the risk of broader regional escalation.
