Yemen’s Houthi movement said it targeted pumping stations on Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline on Tuesday, adding an energy route to its latest claims involving Riyadh airport and an Aramco site.
Yahya Saree, the group’s military spokesperson, also named King Khalid International Airport and an Aramco facility in Abqaiq as targets. Saree additionally claimed the Houthis targeted Riyadh’s financial district and Saudi troop concentrations in al-Mudharabah and Ras al-Arah. The airport and Aramco sites have featured in earlier Houthi claims involving Riyadh and Saudi facilities.
The Saudi-led coalition fighting the Houthis in Yemen said its air defenses intercepted and destroyed several missiles aimed at Riyadh and southern Saudi Arabia. It also said a drone was intercepted over the kingdom’s Eastern Province.
Saudi authorities had not publicly acknowledged the latest attack claims or released a damage assessment.
