Houthis claim attacks on Saudi airports, energy and military sites

Summary

Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said the Yemeni group targeted multiple locations in Saudi Arabia, including airports, energy facilities and military sites. The listed targets were the Aramco facility in Yanbu, Abha and King Khalid International airports, and a military base in Khamis Mushait. Hindustan Times reports the same claims, describing attacks on a Saudi Aramco site, an oilfield, and the Riyadh and Abha airports, and adds that Saudi Arabia has postponed its flagship investment conference until next year amid continuing Houthi attacks. Both reports rely on the Houthi claims, and the articles do not independently verify them.
