Houthi representative Yahya Sari stated that the group carried out attacks using missiles and drones. According to him, the international airports of Riyadh, Dammam and Najran came under fire.

Also, according to the militants, King Khalid Air Base, Saudi Aramco facilities, the Petro Rabigh oil refinery and pump stations of the "East-West" oil pipeline were attacked.

Saudi air defence actions

On 23–24 October, Saudi Arabia's air defence systems intercepted ballistic missiles over Riyadh, Yanbu, Taif, Mecca and Medina. In addition, one drone was destroyed in the east of the country.

Group demands to Riyadh

The Houthis are trying to force Saudi Arabia to cease military operations against them. The militants demand the lifting of restrictions on ports and airports under their control, as well as the transfer of control over Yemen's oil and gas resources to them.
