The Yemen-based Houthi movement has asserted responsibility for a combined drone and ballistic missile strike on a Saudi Aramco facility in Riyadh, according to a statement released on Saturday. The group claimed the attack was in retaliation for recent Saudi military strikes on cities in Yemen and multiple provinces. Eyewitnesses reported witnessing a plume of smoke and fire rising near an Aramco site in Riyadh on Saturday morning.
However, Saudi authorities and energy firm Aramco have not yet confirmed the incident. The reported attack signifies a heightened level of hostilities between the two nations, with the Houthis intensifying cross-border strikes against Saudi cities and key energy infrastructure over the past weeks. Last week, the Houthi movement claimed launching missile and drone attacks on Aramco assets in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia said its air defenses intercepted six ballistic missiles fired towards Taif and the Yanbu region, reporting no damage to Aramco installations.
