Houthi forces said they carried out multiple ballistic missiles and drone strikes
inside Saudi Arabia over the past 48 hours, hitting four targets: the defense
ministry building in Riyadh (claimed direct hit); King Fahd International
Airport in Dammam (claimed to have disrupted flights); an ARAMCO facility in
Yanbu (claimed direct hit and fire); and Abha International Airport (claimed
direct hit). The statement said the strikes were retaliation for what it
described as more than 2,900 Saudi air and missile attacks on Yemen over the
past 100 days that caused about 562 casualties, mostly women and children. The
group warned it will continue strikes on deeper Saudi targets and escalate
further until Saudi Arabia stops military action and lifts its blockade on
Yemen, saying it will respond to blockade with blockade and to escalation with
escalation and hold Saudi Arabia responsible for ensuing consequences.
