Houthis target Aramco refinery, Saudi capital airport as Mecca defence pact activated

Yemen’s Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for missile and drone attacks targeting Saudi Arabia’s infrastructure. The reported strikes included key sites such as airports and an Aramco refinery. In response, Saudi-backed Yemeni forces have intensified their offensive against the Houthis along the Red Sea coast. The conflict has prompted Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Türkiye to activate their defense pact for collective response.
