Houthis Claim Six Attacks on Saudi Airports and Oil Facilities

Houthi forces claimed to have launched six attacks using ballistic missiles and drones against Saudi Arabian oil facilities and airports on October 29, 2026. The attacks were announced by Houthi military representative Yahya Saria via Telegram. The strikes occurred amid ongoing diplomatic talks between Iran and the Mecca pact countries in Tehran.

The Houthi military representative, Yahya Saria, announced the attacks via his Telegram channel on October 29, 2026. The attacks targeted oil facilities, airports, and military installations in Saudi Arabia. The Houthi movement, known as Ansar Allah, claimed responsibility for the strikes using ballistic missiles and drones. The attacks occurred amid diplomatic talks between Iran and the Mecca pact countries in Tehran, though the exact nature of these talks was not specified. The two sources differ in their reporting: izvestia names the Houthi forces and provides details on the method and number of attacks, while al-jazeera focuses on the context of the diplomatic talks without naming the actors.
