The Houthi military spokesman, Yahya Saree, said the group struck an oil facility in Riyadh with ballistic missiles and drones, claiming the attacks caused fires.

In a post on X, he said the strikes were a response to Saudi air raids on territory the group controls in Yemen, including Sanaa. An AFP journalist at the scene reported seeing fire engines trying to extinguish a blaze at Aramco’s Riyadh refinery, with ambulances and police vehicles stationed nearby.
