Middle East: And the Houthis are now involved in the war

Middle East: And the Houthis are now involved in the war

A month after the start of the war in the Middle East, Yemen's Houthis are also actively involved in the conflict.

The pro-Iranian group confirmed it had launched a missile attack on Israel for the first time during the ongoing Israel-US war against Iran, signaling the entry of the Houthis into the conflict and raising the prospect of a wider regional standoff.

The Bushehr nuclear power plant was hit for the third time, while US-Israeli strikes in western Iran killed at least 20 people, according to Iranian media.

Airstrikes were reported in Tehran and Isfahan.

In Lebanon, the Israeli army renewed its attacks in the southern suburbs of Beirut during the night.

Iran has struck a warehouse of Ukrainian anti-drone systems in the United Arab Emirates, which Tehran says were being used to support US forces.

Oman announced that a drone strike hit the port of Salalah, injuring a foreign worker.

And Kuwait's international airport was hit by drone attacks, authorities said.
