Houthis Claim Missile, Drone Attacks on Riyadh and Yanbu Facilities

Yemen's Houthi group has claimed responsibility for missile and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia, targeting what they called 'sensitive targets' in Riyadh. The group also attacked facilities of oil firm Saudi Aramco in coastal Yanbu.

Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said the group carried out two operations using a large number of ballistic and cruise missiles as well as drones. The first operation targeted sensitive targets in Riyadh, while the second targeted Saudi Aramco in Yanbu.

The Saudi Civil Defense issued alerts for Riyadh on Saturday, but did not specify the nature of the threat or report any casualties or damage linked to the warnings.
