Houthis threaten further attacks on Saudi oil facilities

Yemen’s Houthi group vowed on Wednesday to continue targeting Saudi airports and oil facilities following a series of attacks. Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree stated that the group conducted a "high-quality military operation" against Saudi Aramco in Dhahran, as well as strikes against a refinery and Riyadh's international airport using drones and missiles. The Korea Times reports that the group's strikes included ballistic and cruise missiles.

The Houthi attacks targeted a building in an area housing Saudi Aramco's operations center. According to a Saudi energy ministry official reported by Dawn, a building in Dhahran was struck, causing a "limited fire" but resulting in no casualties or fatalities. However, Daily Times reported that the strike on the headquarters in Dhahran reportedly caused extensive damage and triggered a fire across several floors.

Global News noted that the top three floors of a building used by executives were damaged, including the office of the Aramco chief executive.

In Riyadh, the coalition fighting the Houthis reported intercepting a missile fired by the group toward the capital. The Korea Times noted that powerful explosions rattled Riyadh during the escalation, which has also seen Saudi strikes against the Houthi stronghold in Sanaa.
