Yemen’s Houthi movement says it launched renewed attacks on Saudi targets, including King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and energy facilities linked to Aramco. Military spokesman Yahya Saree said the operation used ballistic and cruise missiles as well as drones. The group claimed that its weapons struck the sites and caused fires, but those claims have not been independently verified.
Targets named by the group
Saree also said Houthi forces targeted Aramco facilities in Dhahran, in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province, and a refinery in Riyadh. He described the strikes as a response to Saudi actions in Yemen and said further attacks could follow. The group renewed warnings to people near airports and oil installations to leave the areas.
A wider escalation
The announcements come amid growing cross-border attacks and threats between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia. The Saudi-led coalition has separately reported attempts to hit airports, ports and energy infrastructure, while warning that the attacks endanger civilians and regional security.
The competing statements underline the uncertainty surrounding damage at individual sites. Missile and drone claims from the parties remain difficult to assess independently as the conflict intensifies. Civilian airports and oil facilities are major economic assets, and continued attacks could disrupt travel, energy operations and daily life well beyond the front lines.
