Yemen's Houthis Vow More Attacks on Saudi Airports, Oil Facilities After Aramco HQ Hit

3-line summary

• Yemen's Houthi rebels vowed to continue attacking Saudi airports and oil facilities, calling them "legitimate targets," after reports that their strike on Aramco's Dhahran compound caused major damage to the headquarters building, according to Investing.com. The Houthis said they used ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones, and warned international shipping companies, civilians, and workers to evacuate Saudi airports and oil sites; they named Dhahran's Aramco facilities, Riyadh International Airport, and Aramco refining facilities in Riyadh as further targets.
• Local sources said fire spread across multiple floors in the Dhahran strike, while Saudi's energy ministry described it as limited; two sources said Aramco operations continue normally with staff working from home. The Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted a ballistic missile headed toward Riyadh, where multiple explosions were heard and an air-raid alert was issued then lifted; the cause of the blasts was not confirmed.
• Riyadh International Airport is closed through October 17 with airlines canceling flights to Saudi Arabia; Saturday's attack killed 13 people, the deadliest in Saudi Arabia in a decade. The Houthis say the strikes are retaliation for Saudi support of Yemen's government forces in the civil war that resumed last month, a conflict reported to have been reignited by the US-Iran standoff in the Gulf.
