Yemen’s Houthi rebels have unleashed a barrage of drone and missile strikes on Saudi Arabia that targeted key facilities including natural gas and desalination plants, the latest escalation as peace talks stall and the war in Yemen rages into its eighth year.

No-one was injured in the attacks on Sunday, the Saudi-led military coalition fighting in Yemen said, but civilian vehicles and homes in the area were damaged.
