In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin:

First—The Houthis have struck Yemen's presidential palace complex in a deadly attack, even as Saudi-backed forces press their offensive against the rebels. We'll examine why Riyadh is still struggling to contain the Houthi threat, and how the violence is beginning to affect international businesses operating in the kingdom.

Later in the show—President Trump is escalating his criticism of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky over Kyiv's renewed strikes on Russian oil facilities. Meanwhile, new reporting reveals that the order to restrict Ukraine's military satellite communications appears to have originated inside the White House.
