Houthi forces claim to have launched extensive drone and missile strikes targeting multiple Saudi oil facilities, including Ras Tanura, Buqayq (Abqaiq), and Rabigh, as well as airports in Riyadh and Dammam, and a military HQ in Najran. These claims remain unverified by Saudi Arabia, leading to low confidence regarding the extent of damage or impact. The alleged attacks represent a significant escalation if confirmed, targeting core Saudi energy infrastructure and major transportation hubs.
