Houthis Strike at Heart of Saudi Oil Hub

The Houthis, a Yemeni rebel group, launched a surprise attack on Riyadh's airport and Saudi Arabia's oil hub using missiles and drones.

The operation targeted 'sensitive' sites in Riyadh, with flames and smoke spotted near the city's main airport. The exact targets were not specified by the Houthis, but they claimed to have struck an Aramco facility in Yanbu, a key hub for Saudi oil exports.

The attack was reportedly in response to a previous assault on Yemen's capital, Sana'a. This escalation marks a new theater of conflict within the broader war that began with US and Israeli strikes on Iran in late February.
