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, civilian facilities and economic targets.
