Houthis launched ballistic missiles targeting Saudi Arabia, according to reports. The Saudi-led coalition intercepted the projectiles near Riyadh, preventing them from reaching their intended targets. The intercepted missiles fell in residential areas, causing debris and prompting emergency response teams to assess the damage.
A Saudi energy ministry official confirmed that an administrative building belonging to Aramco in Dhahran was struck on Tuesday. The attack reportedly triggered a “limited fire” and injured four individuals in Riyadh. The coalition stated it had intercepted several missiles on Tuesday evening, including over Riyadh.
The Houthis warned that attacks on Yemen will be met with a “harsh and painful” response against Saudi Arabia. This follows a pattern of escalating tensions between the group and the Saudi-led coalition. The coalition has previously intercepted drones and missiles launched by the Houthis, with officials confirming the destruction of multiple projectiles.
The conflict between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia has intensified in recent weeks, with both sides exchanging attacks. The latest incidents highlight the ongoing military confrontation in the region, with civilian areas at risk due to the proximity of intercepted missiles. The situation remains volatile, with no immediate signs of de-escalation.
