Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree has claimed responsibility for a sequence of missile and drone strikes on Saudi Arabia, targeting oil facilities and King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh as part of ongoing operations across the kingdom.

Saree described six distinct operations, employing ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones against strategic and military sites in Saudi Arabia, in what he framed as retaliation for Saudi actions against Yemen.

The first operation was said to have targeted King Khalid International Airport, Aramco oil storage tanks, and a distillation tower in Riyadh, with Saree asserting the objective was achieved.

Subsequent claims detailed strikes on Aramco facilities in Khurais, a pumping station in the Dawadmi area, and military concentrations at a National Guard camp in Najran, followed by troop positions east of Al-Jawf Governorate in three stages.

The sixth operation was described as targeting Saudi troop concentrations east of the Raghwah and Madghal districts in Marib Governorate, reportedly under the command of a Saudi officer, Fares Al-Shammari, with casualties claimed among Saudi ranks.

In a separate post, Saree asserted that Saudi operations against Yemen in the prior 24 hours amounted to 105 airstrikes and missile attacks, claiming civilian casualties and tallying total strikes since escalation began at 4,369, though these figures could not be independently verified.
