Yemen's ​Iran-aligned Houthis ​said on Thursday ‌that they ​had launched missile and drone ‌attacks on what they described as "a sensitive target" in Saudi Arabia's capital ‌Riyadh and on Saudi Aramco ‌facilities in the Red Sea city of Yanbu.

There ⁠was ​no immediate Saudi confirmation of an attack on Riyadh ⁠or of damage or casualties ⁠in ⁠either Taif and Yanbu.
