In brief
Yemen's Houthis claim to have launched six missile and drone strikes against Saudi oil refineries, airports and a military position on Oct. 29, naming Ras Tanura, Abqaiq, Rabigh, and two Saudi airports. Saudi air defenses intercepted three missiles, and debris from the intercepts fell in Riyadh, injuring a citizen and damaging property.
Yemen's Houthi movement says it hit Saudi oil refineries, airports and a military post on Oct. 29 with six missiles and drones.
Yahya Sarea, the Houthi military spokesman, said on Houthi-run al‑Masirah TV that the attacks targeted the Ras Tanura refinery and the Aramco facilities in Abqaiq, the Rabigh refinery, King Khalid International Airport, King Fahd International Airport, and a command center in Najran. He claimed the six missiles hit these sites and that a drone disrupted air traffic at King Fahd Airport.
“Three ballistic missile attacks targeted the Ras Tanura refinery and Saudi Aramco facilities in Abqaiq, along with the Rabigh refinery… The drone at King Fahd International Airport disrupted air traffic.”
The Saudi‑led coalition said its air defenses intercepted three of the missiles, two aimed at Riyadh and one at the Eastern Province. It reported that two of the intercepted missiles fell over Riyadh, where debris caused a minor injury to a citizen and damaged a house and a vehicle, according to the General Directorate of Civil Defense.
These attacks come amid rising tensions between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia, which have exchanged cross‑border strikes since the conflict in Yemen began in 2014.
