Houthis Claim Missile and Drone Attacks on Saudi Oil Facilities and Riyadh Airport
Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels claimed six missile and drone attacks on November 7 targeting Saudi Arabia's Aramco oil facilities in Riyadh and Khurais, Riyadh airport, a National Guard camp in Najran, and military sites along the Saudi-Yemeni border. The Houthis said these operations were retaliation for recent Saudi airstrikes in Yemen that reportedly caused civilian casualties. Saudi Arabia has not confirmed the attacks or reported any damage. The developments come amid escalating conflict following the collapse of a truce in Yemen's civil war.
