Houthis Threaten Riyadh for First Time, Claim Strike on Yanbu Aramco Facility

| Iran Conflict

Yemen's Houthi movement claimed missile and drone attacks on 'sensitive sites' in Riyadh and an Aramco oil facility in Yanbu — the first time the group has threatened the Saudi capital since Yemen's civil war resumed. The Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted a ballistic missile fired at Riyadh at dawn; smoke was seen near a fuel depot close to King Khalid International Airport before an all-clear was issued. Coalition spokesperson Maj. Gen. Turki al-Maliki said additional attempted strikes on Yanbu, Bisha, Taif and Farasan were thwarted by air defenses.
