## Prediction

Ansarallah is likely to launch at least one additional missile or drone salvo at Saudi military targets—especially King Khalid Airbase or nearby facilities—within 24 hours, exploiting momentum and signaling deterrence against a looming Saudi offensive. Such strikes will strain Saudi air defenses and force dispersion or hardening of high-value air assets. If successful, they will deepen perceptions of Saudi vulnerability, potentially inviting further Iran-aligned proxy attacks from Iraq or elsewhere. Confirmation would be new launch claims and impact reports; non-occurrence alongside visible back-channel diplomacy could indicate short-term de-escalatory bargaining.

## Drivers

- Multiple Houthi ballistic and drone strikes on King Khalid Airbase in under two hours
- Active Houthi offensive operations near Marib and Mokha
- Houthi doctrinal use of clustered, iterative strikes to saturate defenses
- Saudi announcement of a potential major operation creating incentive for preemptive pressure
