Yemen's Houthi movement has claimed responsibility for a missile and drone attack targeting a Saudi Aramco facility in Riyadh, according to Anadolu Agency.
The Saudi-led coalition disputed the claim, describing the Houthis' assertion that they had targeted the Saudi capital as "misleading."
The conflicting accounts come amid a protracted conflict between the Houthi movement and the Saudi-led coalition, in which both sides have frequently issued disputed or contested claims about strikes and their outcomes.
There was no immediate independent confirmation of damage or casualties at any Aramco facility, and Saudi authorities have not detailed the specifics behind their rejection of the Houthi claim.
The incident adds to a long list of claimed attacks and counter-claims between the two sides that have characterized the conflict in recent years.
