Yemeni Armed Forces: 6 operations carried out in Saudi Arabia, including on Riyadh airport and Aramco facilities

In a statement issued on 7 November 2026, the Yemeni Armed Forces announced that they had carried out six operations deep inside Saudi Arabia using a large number of ballistic and cruise missiles as well as drones.

According to the statement, the first operation targeted King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, as well as oil tanks and a distillation tower belonging to Aramco. The second operation targeted the Aramco facility in Khurais, and the third targeted Pumping Station No. 8 in the Dawadmi area. The statement said all three operations successfully hit their targets.

The fourth operation was reported to have targeted Saudi forces gathered at the National Guard camp in Najran, with a direct hit that left a large number of dead and wounded. According to the statement, the fifth operation was carried out in three stages east of Al-Jawf province, and the sixth targeted forces under the command of Saudi officer Faris al-Shammari east of the Raghwan and Medghal districts of Marib province, leaving dozens dead and wounded in their ranks.

The Yemeni Armed Forces said the operations were a response to Saudi Arabia's attacks. The statement cited yesterday morning's strike on vendors and shoppers at the Al-Hadara market in Al-Wazi'iyah district of Taiz province, which killed and wounded dozens of civilians, as well as today's midday strikes on homes in Bani Hushaish district, which killed and wounded dozens of civilians, most of them women and children, and destroyed at least six houses.

The statement said: “We continue our operations deep into Saudi Arabia, imposing the equation of ‘siege for siege, escalation for escalation’, and targeting the gatherings and officers of the Saudi forces.”

The Yemeni Ministry of Health in Sanaa announced that 27 people were killed and 36 wounded in Saudi air strikes on Bani Hushaish district east of Sanaa. Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces, for their part, said they had targeted 875 Ansarullah positions and gatherings in recent hours as part of the “Dawn of Yemen” operation.

In early October, the Yemeni Armed Forces had also announced ballistic missile and drone attacks on Aramco facilities in Riyadh and Khurais. Khurais is one of Saudi Arabia's largest oil fields. Earlier today, explosions were reported in the southern Saudi cities of Jizan and Najran.
