Summary
Yemen's Houthi movement claimed on October 26 to have struck Saudi Arabia's East-West crude oil pumping stations and Riyadh airport. Saudi authorities did not immediately verify the claims. The Saudi-led coalition operating in Yemen reported destroying two ballistic missile launch sites in Sanaa in response, including one that had been used to fire a missile toward Riyadh which the coalition said it intercepted. The Houthis have repeatedly targeted Saudi oil infrastructure, ports, and airports as part of the broader regional conflict.
