The group said the attacks used ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones, and Saudi Arabia did not immediately confirm damage.
- On Saturday, November 7, 2026, Houthis claimed responsibility for six military operations targeting Saudi Arabia and Yemen using missiles and drones. Military spokesperson Yahya Saree announced the attacks, citing targets including Aramco facilities and King Khalid International Airport.
- The strikes were retaliation for Saudi-led airstrikes on Al-Hadara Market in Taiz and homes near Sanaa in Al-Shariya. The Houthi-run Health Ministry reported 25 people killed and 30 injured in the Sanaa-area strikes, mostly women and children.
- Saree claimed operations hit a National Guard camp in Najran and military positions in Al-Jawf and Marib. Strikes targeted oil storage tanks and a distillation tower at Aramco in Khurais and a Pumping Station in Dawadmi.
- Saudi Civil Defence issued a threat alert in Najran on Saturday, but officials announced the danger passed around 10 minutes later. Saudi Arabia did not immediately confirm the reported Houthi attacks or the extent of any damage.
- Fighting has intensified between Iranian-backed Houthis in Sanaa and Saudi-backed opponents, reflecting a worsening civil war following the collapse of a years-long truce. Independent verification of the claims remains unavailable.
