Saree also claimed the Houthis attacked an Aramco facility in Abqaiq and Riyadh’s financial district. It was unclear whether the reference to the financial district meant an attack separate from the previous day’s, when a Houthi strike damaged an Aramco office in Riyadh.

The Saudi-led coalition said air defenses intercepted and destroyed several missiles launched toward southern Saudi Arabia and Riyadh. It also reported intercepting a drone over the oil-rich Eastern Province. The coalition is fighting the Houthis in Yemen.

Saree said the group had also targeted Saudi troop concentrations overseen by Saudi officer Badr al-Harbi in the al-Mudharabah and Ras al-Arah districts, claiming the strikes caused “a large number of dead and wounded.” The source provided no independent confirmation of the claim.

The article said major international events scheduled for September, October and November had been suspended or postponed, and warned that the conflict involving Iran and Yemen could cost Saudi Arabia billions of dollars, including through attacks on Aramco facilities. Saree also warned investors and companies against keeping investments in Saudi Arabia. The article said Houthi forces were blocking Saudi- and Israeli-related shipping off Yemen’s Red Sea coast.
