A missile attack near Riyadh injured four people and damaged homes, according to reports. The Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted several Houthi missiles on Tuesday, including over the capital. Debris from the intercepted missiles wounded four individuals in Riyadh.
An administrative building belonging to Aramco, Saudi Arabia’s state oil company, was struck in Dhahran. The attack came hours after the coalition claimed to have intercepted missiles over Riyadh. The Houthi group warned that attacks on Yemen will be met with a “harsh and painful” response against Saudi Arabia.
The incident follows a funeral for an Egyptian flight attendant killed in an airstrike on an airport in Riyadh. Dozens attended the service for Azza Ramzi, 28, who worked for Saudi Airlines. The attack also prompted Air India to cancel flights to Riyadh, Dammam, and Jeddah until October 17, 2026, citing security concerns.
The ongoing conflict in Yemen has intensified, with the Saudi-led coalition targeting Houthi positions and infrastructure. The Houthi rebels have escalated their attacks, leading to increased tensions and disruptions in Saudi Arabia. The situation remains volatile, with both sides continuing their military operations.
