On September 19, Yemen's Houthi group claimed to have launched attacks using missiles and drones on "sensitive sites" in Riyadh and Saudi Aramco facilities in Yanbu. Shortly after, residents reported hearing blasts in Riyadh, and a fuel tank at an Aramco depot near the city’s international airport caught fire. The attacks followed an air raid alert issued by Saudi authorities earlier that day as tensions escalated due to ongoing conflict in Yemen.
