Houthi forces regularly conduct incursions into Saudi Arabian territory, killing soldiers and undermining the territorial sovereignty of Saudi Arabia. Earlier this month, the Houthi group captured a Saudi military base in Raboah in the Asir province.

Saudi Arabia has intensified surveillance of its southern border with Yemen and conduct airstrikes and military patrols to ward off potential attacks.
