The Houthi movement launched a heavy overnight barrage of ballistic missiles and drones at multiple targets in southern Saudi Arabia, hitting King Khalid Airbase near Khamis Mushait, Abha International Airport, and the Aramco refinery in Jizan, according to The Zioneer. A Houthi military spokesman warned that Saudi oil, industrial, and vital facilities 'are no longer safe' and that the future of investments in the kingdom is at risk. The Saudi Air Force reportedly began striking targets in Yemen in response.
The Houthi movement carried out a coordinated heavy bombardment of southern Saudi Arabia overnight, using ballistic missiles and drones to strike multiple high-value targets simultaneously. According to a report published by The Zioneer, the strikes hit King Khalid Airbase, a major Saudi air force installation near Khamis Mushait; Abha International Airport; and the Aramco oil refinery in Jizan.
A Houthi military spokesman issued a warning following the attack, asserting that Saudi oil fields, industrial zones, and vital infrastructure 'are no longer safe' and that the kingdom's investment climate is now at risk. The Saudi Air Force has reportedly initiated retaliatory strikes inside Yemen, though details of those operations remain unconfirmed.
The bombardment is the latest in a series of Houthi operations against Saudi Arabia since the group declared an end to its ceasefire with Riyadh earlier this year. As The Zioneer has previously reported, the Houthis have targeted Saudi oil infrastructure, military bases, and commercial shipping, and have also struck the United Arab Emirates, reflecting a broader regional escalation by the Iranian-backed movement.
