The Houthis, supported by the Islamic Republic of Iran, announced on Sunday, October 12, that in response to the Saudi-led coalition's air and missile strikes on Yemen, Aramco facilities in Riyadh and the Khurais region were targeted by ballistic missile and drone strikes.

They claimed that these attacks caused widespread fires.

The Houthi rebels in Yemen have announced that the Saudi-led coalition has carried out at least 50 airstrikes and missiles on Yemen in the last 12 hours.

On Saturday, October 11, the Reuters news agency published photos of a fire near one of Aramco's facilities in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.

Attacks by the Iran-backed Houthis on Saudi Arabia's cities and energy infrastructure have intensified since July and after the collapse of the long-standing ceasefire.

The Houthis also attacked Saudi oil tankers and captured parts of Yemen's coast in the Red Sea. The Houthis announced last week that they attacked the Aramco facilities in Yanbu with missiles and drones.
