Summary

On October 13, 2026, Houthi forces launched missiles that struck a Saudi Aramco administrative building in Dhahran, causing a limited fire and leaving the structure damaged. Simultaneously, missiles were fired toward Riyadh, where white plumes of air defence missiles were seen streaking across the sky followed by explosions. Falling debris from intercepted missiles in the capital injured 4 people and damaged 15 residences. Residents in both locations reported hearing loud blasts, and Saudi civil defence officials issued alerts regarding the aerial threat.
