Iran-backed Houthi forces launched missile and drone strikes on multiple Saudi
cities, including Riyadh, and struck ARAMCO’s eastern headquarters campus in
Dhahran, causing a limited fire but no casualties, Saudi authorities said. The
Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted multiple incoming missiles targeting
Kharj, southern provinces, Dhahran and Haradh; some intercept fragments fell
into a Dhahran residential area. At least 18 people have been killed and
hundreds wounded in clashes across Saudi Arabia over the past week. Separately,
Iran has intensified attacks on vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, posing
renewed risk to the recovery of global oil supply. The Saudi cabinet warned the
Houthis would face consequences for continued strikes on airports, civilians
facilities and economic targets.
