Saudi Arabia strikes near Sanaa; Houthi missiles target Saudi cities
The Saudi air force struck a fuel depot near Sanaa, and the Houthis responded with missiles aimed at Riyadh, Dammam and other cities. Debris from intercepted cruise missiles injured four people in Riyadh, including a child, and damaged 15 homes, while an intercept over Dhahran set part of a Saudi Aramco administrative building on fire.
Why it matters
Attacks reaching Saudi Aramco facilities and major cities raise risks for the world's oil supply and regional stability.
Background
Saudi Arabia has led a military coalition against Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi movement since 2015, after the Houthis seized Sanaa. The Houthis have repeatedly fired missiles and drones at Saudi territory over the years.
