Summary
On October 26, 2026, the Houthi movement claimed responsibility for ballistic missile attacks targeting Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport and East-West crude oil pumping stations.

Saudi authorities have not confirmed the Houthi claims regarding the strikes on the airport and oil infrastructure. The incident occurred amid rising regional tensions and follows a pattern of Houthi targeting of Saudi energy and transport facilities.
