Summary
Houthi forces said they struck Saudi oil infrastructure and four airports on Saturday, naming Riyadh, Dammam, Najran and Khamis Mushait along with Aramco and pipeline targets.
Saudi-led coalition forces said they intercepted two ballistic missiles headed toward Yanbu and Taif, while Civil Defense reported debris near Mecca, Jeddah, Taif and Rabigh and briefly issued public alerts.
In Aden, Yemen's internationally recognized government said three Houthi ballistic missiles hit coast guard sites, with two striking a headquarters and a third hitting a building in Tawahi district.
The Houthis denied targeting Mecca and Medina, saying their campaign was aimed at oil facilities and military bases after warning airlines earlier this month to avoid most Saudi airspace.
The exchange underscores how fighting has widened again after the 2022 UN-brokered truce collapsed, opening another front tied to the broader Iran war.
