Hassan Asur, an analyst on Middle East issues, said that the Houthis' missile and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia are aimed at increasing economic and propaganda pressure on Riyadh instead of increasing military goals. He also pointed to the strategic importance of Yemen's Taiz province and said that the Houthis' control of this area could deal a heavy blow to the Saudi-backed government and further weaken its position in Yemen.
