Yemen’s Houthi rebels claimed they had launched multiple missile and drone attacks against Saudi troops and infrastructure both in the Gulf kingdom and Yemen, AFP reports.

The group, which is fighting a Saudi-led coalition backing Yemen’s internationally recognised government, launched six operations that targeted Aramco oil facilities in Khurais as well as Riyadh airport, Saudi troops in Najran and military facilities on both sides of the border, Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree posted on X.
