Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia

Houthi attacks on Saudi airports and Aramco sites have escalated, with deaths at Shaybah and Dammam and a deadly strike on Riyadh airport, and Aramco told Dhahran HQ staff to evacuate. On October 24 the Houthis claimed new attacks on Riyadh, Dammam, Najran, Khamis Mushait, Yanbu and Rabigh, and Saudi Arabia said it intercepted two ballistic missiles fired toward Mecca and Medina, which the Houthis deny targeting. The US has updated Gulf travel advisories, and Pakistan ratified a defence pact with Turkey and Saudi Arabia, though Turkey rules out fighting the Houthis.
