Iran-backed Houthis claim six missile and drone attacks on Saudi refineries, airports and a military post; Riyadh says it intercepted missiles
Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree said the group targeted the Ras Tanura and Rabigh refineries, an Aramco facility in Abqaiq, airports in Riyadh and Dammam, and a Saudi military headquarters in Najran, Al Jazeera reported, adding there was no independent corroboration. The Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted two ballistic missiles fired toward Riyadh, and Saudi Civil Defence said falling shrapnel wounded one citizen and damaged a house and a vehicle. The attacks came days after Saudi and Iranian officials met in Tehran and agreed to resolve differences through dialogue.
