Yemen’s Houthi movement has claimed responsibility for a series of coordinated attacks targeting Saudi Arabia, including the Saudi Defence Ministry in Riyadh, Aramco oil facilities in Yanbu, and airports in Abha and Dammam. The claims follow reports of a separate incident on October 21, 2026, where debris from an intercepted drone struck an Aramco-operated oil field in the country's southeast.
Saudi authorities confirmed that the drone incident in the southeast resulted in two fatalities and two injuries. The Houthi claims represent an escalation in regional tensions, marking a broad attempt to strike both critical energy infrastructure and military and civilian aviation hubs within Saudi territory.
