The Houthi attack on Saudi Arabia's airports and Aramco oil sites resulted in 73 injuries.

The Houthis in Yemen, who are supported by Iran, have attacked Saudi Arabia's commercial and civilian locations, injuring at least 73 people. Numerous energy installations and facilities in the southern region of the Gulf Kingdom were attacked by the Houthis, according to the Ministry of Energy. The charge was made as combat escalated in Yemen, where the internationally recognised government supported by Saudi Arabia has started a counteroffensive to recover territory from the Houthis rebels, who are backed by Iran. Riyadh was accused by the Houthis of carrying out strikes, including the lethal shelling of a prison that resulted in the deaths of eleven individuals. The missile and drone assaults have been attributed to the Houthis, who control the majority of Yemen's northern region and its most populated areas. The rebels, who are supported by Iran, claimed to have attacked Abha International Airport, King Khalid Air Base, and facilities operated by the state-owned oil company Aramco in Abha and Jizan, close to their shared border. Meanwhile, Riyadh promised to take decisive action in response to the most recent clashes. According to Saudi officials and official media, the strikes resulted in temporary shutdowns and fires. Social media videos showed Saudi Arabian oil installations under fire after Houthi drones and missiles hit them. It was the deadliest Houthi strike since a four-year ceasefire in Yemen's protracted civil conflict broke down in July. Saudi Arabia will 'take all necessary measures to defend its sovereignty', a foreign ministry statement said, demanding a halt to the Houthi strikes and their attacks on Red Sea shipping. A Saudi-led coalition, which has been fighting the Houthis on the government's behalf since 2015, said it would respond to the latest attacks. 'The Terrorist Houthi Militia's senseless attacks, the latest of which targeted civilian and economic sites', resulted in injuries to 73 civilians, said the coalition's Joint Forces Command. 'The Command will also take all necessary measures and actions to respond to the sources of the threat and neutralise its danger.' According to an energy ministry source quoted by the Saudi Press Agency, 'several energy sector facilities and installations in the southern region of the kingdom were targeted this morning'. Since declaring a naval blockade against Riyadh in July, the rebel group has been attacking Saudi Arabia, targeting its ships in the Red Sea. The spokesperson for the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen stated on Tuesday that the current escalation was 'dangerous' as the Houthis assaulted economic and civilian organisations in the world's biggest oil exporter and de facto leader of OPEC.
