Houthi forces recently launched a series of missile and drone attacks targeting various sites in Saudi Arabia, including the capital Riyadh and an administrative building belonging to Saudi Aramco in Dhahran. On Tuesday, October 13, Saudi defenses intercepted several projectiles, with debris from two cruise missiles falling over Riyadh and injuring four people—two women, a man, and a child—and damaging 15 homes.
Simultaneously, a missile struck an administrative complex of Saudi Aramco in Dhahran, causing a limited fire but no reported casualties. The Saudi Energy Ministry confirmed the attack on the Dhahran facility. These actions come amid an escalation of hostilities in the region, following earlier Houthi attacks on Saudi airports and infrastructure.
