Saudi coalition intercepts Houthi missiles; Riyadh oil building hit

Houthi forces have escalated missile and drone attacks against Saudi Arabia, directly targeting Riyadh's financial district and Aramco infrastructure, resulting in confirmed minor damage to an Aramco administrative building. Concurrently, unconfirmed reports indicate Syria has begun deploying thousands of troops to the Saudi-Yemeni border to support anti-Houthi operations, signaling potential deepening regional involvement. The humanitarian situation in Yemen continues to deteriorate with thousands displaced.

The Saudi-led coalition confirmed intercepting multiple Houthi missiles, including ballistic and cruise types, targeting Riyadh. While most were intercepted, one strike reportedly damaged a state oil company building in Riyadh, marking a notable escalation in Houthi targeting of Saudi critical infrastructure. The full extent of damage and casualties remains unconfirmed.
