Houthi attacks on Saudi Aramco – Bharat Pulse News

Saudi Arabia's air defence systems intercepted several missiles launched by Yemen's Houthi movement towards Riyadh and the Eastern Province on Sunday, November 8. The interceptions included three ballistic missiles and two cruise missiles as fighting intensified between Houthi forces and the Saudi-led coalition. Saudi Air Defences Intercept Houthi Missiles Saudi-led coalition spokesperson Major General Turki al-Maliki confirmed that two ballistic missiles targeting Riyadh were intercepted and destroyed. Another ballistic missile directed towards the oil-rich Eastern Province was also intercepted. Coalition forces subsequently destroyed two cruise missiles over Riyadh and southern Saudi Arabia. Saudi Civil Defence issued emergency warnings across several locations, including Riyadh, Dammam, Al-Ahsa and Najran, before announcing that the immediate danger had passed. Houthis Claim Attacks on Saudi Oil Facilities Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree claimed that the group had conducted operations targeting Saudi Aramco oil facilities, Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport and military positions. Saudi authorities separately confirmed that falling shrapnel damaged an Aramco administrative building in Riyadh's King Abdullah Financial District. No casualties were reported in that incident. The latest attacks follow repeated Houthi missile and drone operations against Saudi infrastructure amid renewed hostilities in Yemen. Yemen Conflict Escalates as Civilian Deaths Rise The Houthi-run Health Ministry claimed that Saudi-led coalition airstrikes killed 33 people, including 13 children and eight women, near Sanaa on Saturday. Officials also reported at least 39 injuries. The casualty figures have not been independently verified. The renewed fighting follows the collapse of Yemen's ceasefire in July 2026. United Nations figures indicate that more than 1,600 people have been killed and nearly 300,000 displaced since the renewed escalation.
