Houthis Claim Missile Attacks on Saudi Oil Facilities and Riyadh Airport; Saudi Coalition Intercepts Missiles
Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels claimed six missile and drone attacks targeting Saudi Arabia's oil facilities, including Aramco sites, King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, and military positions near the Saudi-Yemeni border. The Houthis said these operations were retaliation for Saudi airstrikes on civilian areas in Yemen, which reportedly killed dozens. Saudi-led coalition forces intercepted two ballistic missiles aimed at Riyadh, with limited damage reported to an Aramco building in the capital's financial district. Casualty figures and damage assessments remain unverified by independent sources.
