Yemen's Houthis claim attacks on Saudi oil refinery and defense ministry
On October 27, Yemen's Houthis launched missiles at Saudi Arabia's defense ministry and Ras Tanura oil refinery, causing damage in Riyadh. The attacks are part of ongoing strikes against Saudi oil and civilian sites. The Houthis claimed direct hits on their targets, while Saudi authorities intercepted several missiles. A fire was reported at Ras Tanura, a key facility in Saudi Arabia's energy sector. Additionally, the Houthis targeted military aircraft in southern Saudi Arabia. Tensions escalated with Egypt's parliament authorizing military support for Saudi Arabia, which the Houthis interpreted as a declaration of war. The conflict has intensified since July, destabilizing the region further.
