According to Italian news agency ANSA and other media reports, Italian Defense Minister Croseto said on the 18th that an air base in Saudi Arabia was attacked on the evening of the 17th, causing damage to an Italian “Typhoon” fighter. He added that none of the Italian military personnel deployed at the base were injured. According to reports, Croseto said that last night he focused on the situation at the air base in Taif, Saudi Arabia, which has been attacked many times. “No Italian military personnel were affected.” Croseto said, however, that an Italian “Typhoon” fighter parked in a non-core area of the base was damaged during the attack, and the vehicles or infrastructure used by Italian personnel were not damaged. Recently, the conflict between Yemen's Houthis and Saudi Arabia, which supports Yemeni government forces, has continued to escalate. The Houthis have occupied many strategic locations along the Red Sea coast, competed for control of the Mander Strait, and attempted a maritime blockade against Saudi Arabia; Saudi Arabia has stepped up air raids on the Houthis while seeking aid from abroad. This is the most serious conflict between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia in recent years, and it is also the latest variable in the geographical landscape of the Middle East.
