Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree claims that the group carried out four attacks using missiles and drones on Saudi Arabia, in response for coalition airstrikes on their territory in Yemen.

“The first operation targeted King Khalid International Airport and several pumping stations along the East-West pipeline in the Saudi … capital, Riyadh. The strikes were direct, causing fires and damage at the targeted sites,” Saree says in a post on X.

He says the second operation targeted an Aramco facility in Abqaiq and “successfully achieved its objectives”, while the third targeted Saudi troops in Al-Mudarribah and Ras Al-Arah District, “leaving a large number of dead and wounded”.

“The fourth operation targeted the financial centre in the Saudi enemy’s capital, Riyadh,” the spokesperson says, adding that it was “direct”.

Saree has urged investors to avoid the kingdom, saying, “We advise them to move them (investments) to peaceful and safe countries, because Saudi Arabia is not a safe country for investment until it ends its aggression and blockade against our country.”
