Pumping stations along Saudi Arabia’s East-West crude pipeline were among the targets named in a Tuesday statement by Yemen’s Houthi movement, which also listed sites in Riyadh.
Military spokesperson Yahya Saree named King Khalid International Airport, an Aramco facility in Abqaiq and Riyadh’s financial district. He also said the movement targeted Saudi troop concentrations in al-Mudharabah and Ras al-Arah.
Saudi-led coalition forces reported that air defenses brought down several missiles bound for Riyadh and southern Saudi Arabia. They also said a drone was stopped in the Eastern Province.
Saudi officials had neither addressed the allegations publicly nor published an account of damage.
Earlier Houthi claims also named Saudi oil and aviation targets. In a previous set of claims involving Saudi oil and airports, the group listed pumping stations, Aramco facilities in Yanbu and the Rabigh refinery, as well as King Fahd International Airport in Dammam and other airports. Its claims of direct hits and flight disruption were unverified.
