Houthis say they attacked Riyadh and Aramco facilities in Yanbu
- On Thursday, Ansar Allah launched missile and drone attacks on Riyadh and Saudi Aramco facilities in Yanbu; military spokesman Yahya Saree called the strikes "successful operations."
- Saree stated that Ansar Allah would continue "an escalation for an escalation," targeting Saudi troop buildups following over 1,000 airstrikes by Saudi Arabia in Yemen.
- Saudi Arabia intercepted six ballistic missiles fired toward the Taif and Yanbu regions, though officials reported no immediate confirmation of damage or casualties in either location.
- Earlier, Saree claimed an attack near Jizan caused hundreds of casualties among Saudi-led reinforcement troops, part of a conflict dating back to 2022 when Ansar Allah began targeting infrastructure.
- President Trump reportedly authorized Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to escalate in Yemen before July 13, and the US-Ansar Allah ceasefire reached in May 2025 remains in effect.
