Saudi-Yemen war
The Saudi–Yemen war is a long-running conflict that began with Saudi Arabia's 2015 intervention against Yemen's Houthi movement, evolving into a regional confrontation marked by cross‑border attacks, Red Sea escalation, and repeated breakdowns of ceasefires.

Between October 10 and October 29, 2026 Ansar Allah's military spokesman, Brigadier General Yahya Saree issued at least eight statements claiming strikes inside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport appears in seven of those statements, on October 10, 11, 12, 19, 24, 26 and 29. Saree has declared it a “military target” and told airlines and travelers to stay away. The Houthis have also claimed King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, Abha airport three times and Najran airport three times.
On the energy side, the Houthis claim to have hit Aramco's Yanbu complex three times, the East-West pipeline and its pumping stations twice, the Ras Tanura refinery twice, the Rabigh refinery twice, and the Abqaiq processing plant, the Shaybah oil field and Aramco’s headquarters in Dhahran once each. Ghawar, the largest oil field on earth, was reportedly on the October 10 list as well.
And on the military side, they claim the King Khalid Air Base at Khamis Mushait four times, a military headquarters in Najran, transport aircraft at Najran airport, a “Saudi navy task force camp,” radar sites at Jabal al-Hisn, Jabal al-Rahmah and Bir Askar, and, twice, the Saudi Ministry of Defense in Riyadh. The Houthis claim they have twice hit the building from which the Saudi war in Yemen is run.
