Houthis launch fresh wave of missiles across Saudi Arabia

On October 14, 2026, the Houthi militant group launched a fresh wave of missile attacks across Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia reported that an attack on the headquarters of oil state company Aramco caused a limited fire in the eastern city of Dhahran. The building, which houses a major operation for Aramco, the world's largest oil company, did not result in any casualties or deaths.
A company source confirmed that a ballistic missile hit the top floors of an office building in the complex. Hours earlier, Saudi authorities intercepted several missiles, including over the capital city, Riyadh. Four people were injured due to falling debris from two intercepted Houthi missile attacks, resulting in 15 homes suffering damage.
The Saudi-led coalition fighting the Houthis also conducted airstrikes in Sanaa, Yemen's capital, on Tuesday. The Houthi-run broadcaster Al Masirah reported that locals heard strong explosions in the city after the coalition urged residents to evacuate the Suhaba fuel facility and a nearby site, which the group reportedly used for missile and drone storage. However, the storage facilities were empty, and the strike did not impact oil reserves or supplies to residents.
