Indeed, and important to remember that Saudi Arabia is the one imposing a unilateral siege on Sana'a and decided to bomb Sana'a airport to violate the ceasefire.
Saudis have been relatively pragmatic in recent years, so this entire situation is a bit confusing. They are making unforced errors here.
In other news, Reuters reports that Greek air defence operators shot down 2 ballistic missiles near Yanbu:
There is nothing illegal about anything. The Houthi terrorist cults are usurpers who attacked the Yemeni state, military and government in September 2014. Causing the current civil war in Yemen.
Before that they had engaged in a terrorist insurgency against the Yemeni state since the 1990's.
KSA and the Yemeni government is in control of the Bab el-Mandeb strait, all the oil and gas in Yemen, 85% of the landmass, over 50% of the population, all the main ports (with only Hudaydah allowed for humanitarian reasons) and now there is a popular tribe and clan uprising against the backward and incompetent Houthi terrorist cult.
All they could do in their largest attack on KSA since 2016, was to hit 1 small oil tank in a huge Jazan oil refinery next to North Yemen.
In return before and after KSA struck their targets in numerous areas (very successfully) across much of the small Houthi terrorist cult temporarily occupied areas of North Yemen.
Not accurate news. The Greek operators" in KSA are jointly operating the Greek Patriots (originally) that were transferred to KSA.
KSA has one of the world's largest and most complex air defenses.
What occurred was that KSA (we are the 12th largest country on earth - larger than Iraq, Iran and UAE combined to put it into perspective) were short on Patriots some time ago and this was solved by getting Greek Patriots. All are manned by

Until the Russian invasion of Ukraine, our defense forces had the world's most confirmed missile and drone interceptions.
They are highly experienced and showed their worth once again yesterday.
KSA signed many deals with Ukraine to produce cheap suicide drones and interceptor drones and a few Ukrainian experts are now helping train Saudi Arabians in this endeavor.
Kyiv, which has built expertise on how to counter drones, seals pact amid Iran war.

KSA has helped Ukraine as well in the past and during the illegal Russian invasion - so they are giving us something back which we appreciate. KSA-Ukrainian cooperation (military) was also quite big before the war and some originally Ukrainian missiles are now produced by KSA (slightly modified) etc. In short, they have proven to be a good partner and their experience is invaluable. Even the US are sending soldiers and experts to learn from the Ukrainian warfare in terms of drone warfare, air defense etc. So as I wrote it is a good partner to work with.
They have not prevented Saudi Arabian oil tankers from crossing the Bab el Mandeb strait towards China and other destinations either other than desperately targeting 2 oil tankers (failed to destroy them even).
