Houthis launched missiles at Saudi Arabia's Aramco facility in Riyadh, damaging the building, while also striking the presidential palace in Aden, killing five. The attacks mark a escalation in hostilities between the Houthis and the Saudi-led coalition.
The Houthis claimed responsibility for the Aramco attack, targeting Saudi infrastructure as part of their strategy against the kingdom. The palace strike in Aden, which hit a command center for the coalition, occurred as the Houthis intensified attacks on Saudi cities and energy sectors.
The attacks have raised concerns about the stability of the Red Sea region and global oil markets, with Saudi Arabia facing repeated strikes on its airports and energy facilities. The UN has condemned the Houthi attacks, highlighting the risks to commercial shipping and regional security.
The Houthis have denied attacking the Saudi military headquarters in Aden, while the Saudi-led coalition has intercepted a cruise missile and destroyed a drone over eastern Saudi provinces, underscoring the ongoing conflict and its impact on regional and global markets.
