Yemen's Houthis claim drone and missile attacks on Saudi Arabia

Yemen's Houthi rebels have claimed to have attacked Saudi Arabia's capital, Riyadh, and facilities of state-owned oil company Aramco in the western coastal city of Yanbu. The rebels' military spokesperson, Yahya Sari, said they carried out two successful military operations using missiles, cruise missiles, and drones, resulting in large fires at both targets.

The attacks come after Saudi Arabia accused the Houthis of targeting the holy city of Mecca with a drone, which the rebels denied. The Houthis also recently gained control of 130km of territory in Yemen, including the port of Mocha and Mayun island in the Red Sea.
