- The group also reported missile attacks in Saudi Arabia and Yemen.
- Saudi Arabia had not immediately confirmed the claims.

## Summary

Yemen’s Houthi group said it attacked Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport and a pumping station on Saudi Arabia’s East-West oil pipeline. The claims raise concerns about the security of Saudi transport and energy infrastructure, but Saudi Arabia had not confirmed them.

Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree said a drone targeted the airport and two drones struck a pumping station east of Riyadh. He also claimed attacks on Saudi troop positions in Jazan and on weapons depots and forces in several parts of Yemen; the group reported casualties, while Saudi civil defence had issued an all-clear for Jazan hours earlier.
