Debris from two ballistic missiles landed in three different Saudi cities after air defenses engaged the projectiles on Saturday. The fragments fell in Jeddah, Taif, and Rabigh, according to Saudi Arabia's Civil Defense agency.
The missiles were launched by Yemen’s Houthis toward the regions of Mecca and Medina. The intercepts occurred after the Houthis announced attacks on Saudi oil facilities and airports. Targets included a Saudi Aramco facility in Yanbu and the Rabigh oil refinery.
Yahya Saree, the military spokesperson for the Houthis, stated that the group also targeted King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh. He confirmed strikes on King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, Najran airport, and an air base in Khamis Mushait.
Earlier on Saturday, Houthi-linked Saba News Agency reported that Yemen’s National Commission for Human Rights condemned Saudi strikes in Sanaa. The group described a "massacre" in the Asr neighborhood and an attack on a cement factory in the Hamdan district of Sanaa Governorate.
The US State Department updated its travel advisory for Israel on Friday. The notice warned of an increased threat from armed attacks by Iran-backed Houthis and the potential for rapid regional escalation. The department cited previous Houthi strikes on Saudi civilian airports and infrastructure that caused casualties and travel disruptions. Israel's overall advisory classification remains at Level 3, urging Americans to reconsider travel due to terrorism and unrest.
