Sana’a, MINA – Yemen’s Houthi group has claimed responsibility for a series of missile and drone attacks targeting King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and oil facilities operated by Saudi Aramco, according to the group’s military spokesman.
Brigadier General Yahya Saree said a ballistic missile was launched at King Khalid International Airport, claiming it scored a “direct and accurate” hit. The claims have not been independently verified in the report.
Saree also said the group fired three ballistic missiles at gatherings of Saudi-backed government forces in the Ras al-Ara and Al-Mudharaba areas. He claimed the strikes caused numerous casualties and damaged several military vehicles.
The operations also targeted Aramco facilities in Dhahran, in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province, and an Aramco refinery in Riyadh, Saree said.

According to the spokesman, the attacks involved a large number of ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as drones. He claimed the strikes caused destruction and fires at the targeted locations.
The latest attacks followed threats issued by the Houthis on Tuesday in response to any military strike against Yemen’s capital, Sanaa.
Saree warned that operations targeting locations deep inside Saudi Arabia would continue in the coming days, with airports and oil installations remaining among the group’s stated targets.
The Houthis also renewed warnings to international shipping companies, civilians and workers at airports and oil facilities, urging them to leave the sites and stay away. The group described the locations as “legitimate targets.”
