Houthi forces claim multiple missile and drone attacks on Saudi Aramco facilities in Riyadh and Khurais, with some reports of smoke and flames near Riyadh. Concurrently, multiple tankers have been struck by projectiles in the Strait of Hormuz, with UKMTO attributing some incidents to Iran's IRGC. The extent of damage to Aramco sites and the full scope of maritime incidents remain largely unconfirmed, but the pattern indicates a significant escalation in regional conflict targeting energy infrastructure and maritime security.
