Houthi missile attempts damage Riyadh Aramco office amid escalating Yemen conflict

CNBC reported that on 6 November falling debris from an attempted missile strike damaged an administrative building of Saudi Aramco in Riyadh, though no casualties were recorded. Earlier in the week, the Saudi-led coalition said it had intercepted three ballistic and two cruise missiles launched by Yemen's Houthi forces toward Riyadh and eastern Saudi Arabia, while the Houthis claimed a coalition air strike killed dozens near Sanaa.

Houthi-linked media also reported a Saudi-led air strike in al-Shariyah that killed 33 people, and the Houthi military spokesperson said six operations hit Saudi oil infrastructure, an airport and troop positions, warning of further strikes. Yemen's government forces and the Houthi movement accused each other of an air strike on the al-Hadara market in Taiz that killed at least 30 civilians.

At a glance

The claim that Yemen's Houthi rebels conducted six operations against Saudi targets, including Riyadh airport and Aramco sites on November 7, 2026, was confirmed. It was also confirmed that on November 8, 2026, falling debris from an attempted missile strike damaged a Saudi Aramco administrative building in Riyadh with no casualties. The statement by the Houthi military spokesperson regarding six operations hitting Saudi oil infrastructure, an airport, and troop positions on November 7, 2026, with warnings of further strikes was partially confirmed. The accusation by both Yemen's government forces and the Houthi movement of each other carrying out an air strike on the al-Hadara market in Taiz on November 6, 2026, resulting in at least 30 civilian deaths and injuries, lacked enough evidence. A Saudi-led coalition air strike in al-Shariyah on November 8, 2026, killing 33 people including women and children and injuring dozens, was partially confirmed.
