The Houthis announced that they had carried out four military operations targeting sites deep inside Saudi Arabia, using ballistic and cruise missiles as well as drones, following missile and drone attacks on areas inside the Kingdom that reportedly caused material damage.
Houthi military spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree said the operations were carried out in response to what he described as Saudi aggression against Yemen. He claimed the strikes were retaliation for attacks that left more than 120 people dead or injured, most of them women and children, in what he described as two massacres at Souq Al-Hadara in the Al-Wazi’iyah area and residential buildings in Bani Hushaysh.
Saree said Houthi forces had carried out four military operations using several ballistic and cruise missiles, along with drones.
Details of the Targets Announced by the Houthis
According to the Houthi military spokesman, the first operation targeted King Khalid International Airport, Aramco storage tanks, and the financial district in the Saudi capital, Riyadh.
He added that the second operation targeted Aramco facilities in Abqaiq, while the third and fourth operations targeted gatherings of Saudi forces and officers in areas east of Al-Jawf Governorate, Madghal District in Marib Governorate, and Al-Mudharabah area in Lahij Governorate.
Damage Reported at Aramco Building in Riyadh
The Houthis also claimed responsibility for attacks on sites inside Saudi Arabia using missiles and drones, as images and videos circulated showing damage to an Aramco building in Riyadh.
The images showed broken windows across several floors of the company’s tower. Saudi authorities said the damage resulted from falling debris and shrapnel after two missiles launched toward the capital were intercepted.
The Saudi Ministry of Energy confirmed that the damage to the building was limited to material losses, with no injuries or fatalities reported.
