Loud booms heard near Saudi Aramco headquarters after coalition intercepts Houthi missiles
Saudi Civil Defense issued an early warning for the country's eastern province earlier on Tuesday, then issued another for Riyadh shortly after the interceptions.
The Saudi-led coalition confirmed on Tuesday that it targeted a Yemeni oil company facility in Sanaa along with two other sites in the Saada and Dhamar provinces. Coalition spokesman Turki al-Maliki stated on X that these facilities were used by the Houthis to supply their war effort and threaten the kingdom, Yemen, the southern Red Sea, and waterways.
While the Houthi movement reported that Saudi Arabia struck an oil facility near Sanaa on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, the coalition had not confirmed that specific strike at the time of the Daily Times report. An AFP correspondent in Sanaa reported hearing an explosion.
The Jerusalem Post reported that the Saudi Civil Defense issued an early warning for the country's eastern province on Tuesday, followed by another warning for Riyadh after interceptions occurred. Following a deadly attack on Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport on October 10, India advised its nationals in Saudi Arabia to remain calm and vigilant.
The Indian Embassy urged citizens to stay indoors in the event of an aerial attack, follow local authorities, and refrain from circulating videos or news regarding the incidents.
