Yemen's Houthis claim missile and drone strikes on Riyadh and Saudi oil facilities
The Iran-backed group says it launched a large-scale attack on the Saudi capital and Aramco sites in Yanbu.
Yemen's Houthi movement claimed responsibility for strikes on Riyadh using ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones targeting what it described as "sensitive" sites, according to the group. The Houthis separately claimed a separate operation hit Saudi Aramco facilities in Yanbu on the Red Sea coast.
There was no immediate independent confirmation of the attacks or damage assessments from Saudi authorities. The Houthis have conducted repeated strikes on Saudi Arabia and its infrastructure since 2015, though the scale and success of claimed operations often differ from verified outcomes.
