Houthis reportedly strike Saudi airports, oil facilities and Aramco HQ since July

Single source · Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia (approximate: Red Sea) · 2026-10-16 15:49 UTC

Middle East Eye reports that since July Houthi missile and drone strikes have repeatedly targeted Saudi targets, including Red Sea tankers, oil facilities, Riyadh's airport, other Saudi airports and the Aramco headquarters. The same outlet reports a Saudi statement that the Houthi attacks violate the terms of rapprochement with Iran, and a Saudi-led coalition claim that it downed drones and missiles over Riyadh, the Red Sea and Yanbu. Both items come from Middle East Eye alone, and no other source in the claims confirms them.
