Houthis Claim Drone and Rocket Strikes on Riyadh and Saudi Aramco Facilities

The Houthi movement (Ansar Allah) claimed on Thursday to have launched rockets and drones at targets in Riyadh and Saudi Aramco facilities in Yanbu al-Bahr on the Red Sea. The claim is unverified and follows a pattern of Houthi long-range attacks on Saudi territory, though strikes on Yanbu would mark a notable expansion of their reach. The incident underscores ongoing regional instability and potential energy infrastructure vulnerability.

Houthi Ballistic Missile and Drone Barrage on Saudi Arabia

Houthi forces launched a significant barrage of ballistic missiles and drones targeting multiple locations deep within Saudi Arabia, including Riyadh, Taif, Yanbu, and Jazan. Saudi air defenses successfully intercepted at least six ballistic missiles, but the extent of damage from other claimed attacks, particularly on energy infrastructure, remains unconfirmed. This marks a notable escalation in Houthi offensive operations, expanding their reach and targeting critical Saudi assets.
