Houthis and Saudi coalition exchange strikes on energy infrastructure

Yemen's Houthi group fired missiles and drones at Saudi Arabia on October 14, 2026. Their targets included Saudi Aramco's headquarters in Dhahran and facilities in Riyadh. A fire broke out at the Dhahran site after the attack. In Riyadh, four people were hurt by falling debris from missiles that were shot down, and 15 homes were damaged.

Saudi Arabia's coalition struck back, hitting a fuel depot near the Yemeni capital, Sanaa. Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree said the operation was successful and caused fires at the intended sites. The Houthis said they attacked because Saudi forces had been striking Yemeni territory. The strikes are part of a wider conflict between the Houthis and a Saudi-led coalition that has been fighting in Yemen for years.
