Mike BakerHOST
Saudi civil defense officials also issued warnings covering a wide area, including Jeddah, Mecca, Taif, and Yanbu.
Mike BakerHOST
Authorities issued a warning for Tabuk in northwestern Saudi Arabia, something Reuters notes had not happened previously during this latest escalation.
Mike BakerHOST
The Houthis, meanwhile, claimed a separate attack farther south against military sites in Jizan Province, saying they used dozens of ballistic missiles and drones against command centers, weapons depots, and missile launch sites.
Mike BakerHOST
Saudi Arabia has not confirmed that attack.
Mario NawfalHOST
Is the US abandoning Saudi? Are they delaying it after the midterms? Would that really make a difference? Because the Houthis are still bombing Saudis and the Saudis are bombing the Houthis.
Mario NawfalHOST
But today, the Houthis went as deep as Tabuk, which is up near Jordan, 2,000 kilometers in.
Mario NawfalHOST
And there was an important air base there.
Mario NawfalHOST
So the Houthis struck Tabuk for the first time ever or for the first time in this war.
Mario NawfalHOST
So we'd love to get your thoughts on the Houthi-Saudi war.
Douglas MacgregorGUEST
Al-Ansara made an agreement with us.
Mario NawfalHOST
The Houthis did strike very deep into Saudi.
Mario NawfalHOST
I think first time in a long time or first time ever, 2,000 kilometers in into Tabuk, where there's a major... air base there, one of five Saudi air bases that's located there.
Mario NawfalHOST
So that happened.
Mario NawfalHOST
And of course, she met Trump, but not much came out of this, except she talking about the Fucidides trap again.
Mario NawfalHOST
Yeah.
Mario NawfalHOST
And Tabuk has an important air base.
Mario NawfalHOST
And actually, that was one of the reasons that large attack by the Houthis led to oil prices going up even further.
Mario NawfalHOST
It's always just important.

The Saudi-led coalition said Thursday it intercepted six ballistic missiles the Houthis fired toward the cities of Taif and Yambu, warning that further escalation by the group would be dealt with firmly.
speaker_2HOST
Saudi civil defense briefly issued warnings covering Mecca, Yanbu, Taif, Jeddah, and Tabuk before lifting them minutes later, the kind of alert that has often preceded a Houthi attack in recent weeks.
speaker_2HOST
The warnings followed Riyadh's accusation that the Houthis had targeted Mecca for the first time since 2017.
speaker_2HOST
It came days after the group struck the Saudi capital directly for the first time in years.
Shazad HaqueHOST
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia says it intercepted six Houthi ballistic missiles targeting Taif and the Red Sea oil terminal of Yanbu.
Shazad HaqueHOST
Warnings were also issued for Mecca, Jeddah and Tabuk.
Shazad HaqueHOST
France says it will send soldiers, radars and defence systems to help protect Yanbu, Saudi Arabia's main crude export terminal on the Red Sea.
Shazad HaqueHOST
Oil prices climbed about 3% following the attack, with Brent crude settling at US$106.60 a barrel.

Roland OliphantHOST
Saudi civil defense this morning also issued alerts warning of potential danger.
Roland OliphantHOST
Presumably, they're talking about drone and missile strikes in Mecca, uh, the northwestern area of Tabuk and the Red Sea areas of Jeddah and Yanbu and the southern area of Taif.
Roland OliphantHOST
These are the first alerts of Thursday morning released by the Saudis.
Roland OliphantHOST
Those are alerts rather than reports of actual strikes at this moment.
Bernie PowerGUEST
He then went to another city where he had 12,000 troops.
Bernie PowerGUEST
And the final one up in Tabuk, up in the north in the place I was there actually, early last year in Saudi Arabia, he went with 30,000 troops.
Bernie PowerGUEST
Now this is the size of the active Australian Defence Force.
Bernie PowerGUEST
It was a massive army for that time.
Sara TrevisanGUEST
Uh, institutions and private.
Sara TrevisanGUEST
Major works and maps on early travel in the Gulf region in the Arabian Peninsula, um, firsthand accounts of the Hajj, of the pilgrimage to Mecca from Damascus via Tabuk, AlUla, Medina.
Sara TrevisanGUEST
Very, very early descriptions of what Mecca looks like.
Georgia TolleyHOST
A million dirhams.
