The Houthi movement’s military spokesman, Yahya Saria, said on Tuesday that its forces carried out four operations with ballistic missiles and drones, against King Khalid International Airport and a number of pumping stations in Riyadh, Saudi Aramco facilities at Abqaiq in the east of the kingdom, concentrations of Saudi forces in southwestern Yemen, and Riyadh’s financial centre, and he called on foreign companies and investors to move their assets out of Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has not confirmed any of the claimed strikes, and the claim is uncorroborated. Saria also denied striking the East-West oil pipeline near Medina, saying the pumping stations in Riyadh were the target; Saudi Arabia’s Energy Ministry said on November 9 that the pipeline was attacked near Medina, causing a limited fire that was put out, with no casualties and no disruption to the line.
Houthis claim strikes on Riyadh airport and Aramco sites
Yemen's Houthi movement says it fired ballistic missiles and drones at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Aramco facilities at Abqaiq and the Saudi capital's financial centre, a claim Saudi Arabia has not confirmed.
Why it matters: If any part of the claim is borne out it would be the deepest Houthi strike package of this round of fighting, aimed at the airport, oil infrastructure and financial district of the Saudi capital; unconfirmed, it is still a stated intent to keep attacking all three.
