Houthis launch fresh wave of missiles across Saudi Arabia

Both the Houthis and the Saudi-led coalition carried out strikes targeting energy infrastructure. Four people were injured as a result of debris of intercepted missiles in Riyadh. DW has the latest.

On Wednesday, October 14, 2026, the Houthis launched a fresh wave of missile attacks across Saudi Arabia. The attack targeted the headquarters of Saudi oil state firm Aramco, resulting in a limited fire at the complex in the eastern city of Dhahran. There were no casualties or deaths, according to the country's Energy Ministry.

Four people sustained injuries due to falling debris following two intercepted Houthi missile attacks. Among the wounded were two women, a man, and a child in the Saudi capital Riyadh. The incident prompted Saudi authorities to issue an alert warning of a hostile aerial threat.

Hours earlier, Saudi authorities intercepted several missiles, including those over the capital Riyadh. The Saudi-led coalition fighting the Houthis had also struck targets in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa on Tuesday. Houthi-run broadcaster Al Masirah reported locals hearing strong explosions in the city hours after the coalition urged residents to leave the all-Suhaba fuel facility and a nearby site due to a potential strike.

The coalition spokesperson stated that the Houthis were storing missiles and drones at the facility, which is situated on a hill overlooking Sanaa. However, the storage facilities were reportedly empty, and the strike did not impact oil reserves or supplies to residents. The Saudi Ministry of Energy confirmed a fire at Aramco's compound in Dhahran but stated that it had not affected oil supplies or reserves.
