  • Yemen's Houthis claim to have carried out six military operations targeting Saudi oil facilities, Riyadh airport, troops and military sites in Saudi Arabia and Yemen.
  • The group says it used ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones, threatening further attacks if the escalation continues. Saudi Arabia and Yemen's internationally recognized government have not confirmed the reported strikes.

Yemen's Houthis have claimed responsibility for six military operations targeting oil facilities, military installations and troop positions in Saudi Arabia and Yemen, according to a statement by the group's military spokesperson, Yahya Saree.

In a post on X, Saree said the operations involved ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones.

He claimed that the targets included Saudi Aramco oil facilities in Riyadh, Riyadh airport, Saudi military personnel and military installations on both sides of the Saudi-Yemeni border.

Saree said the group would continue its military operations inside Saudi territory, warning of further attacks against Saudi troops and military commanders.

"We will continue our operations deep inside Saudi territory, imposing the equation of blockade for blockade and escalation for escalation, and targeting Saudi enemy troop concentrations and officers," he said.

Saudi authorities and Yemen's internationally recognized government have yet to issue statements confirming the alleged attacks.

The claims have not been independently verified, and there has been no confirmed assessment of damage or casualties.
