Officials stand over missile debris marked by a red ribbon on open ground near Mecca, with mountains behind them.

The Houthis said Monday they attacked Saudi Arabia’s East-West crude pumping stations and Riyadh airport, Reuters reported. There was no immediate Saudi confirmation. This desk is not treating the claim as confirmed damage. The Saudi-led coalition said it destroyed two ballistic missile launchers in Sanaa, including one it said had fired toward Riyadh and been intercepted. It also said Monday it hit Houthi targets in Yemen: five tunnels used to store ballistic missiles, four ballistic missile launchers, and a missile storage facility. Those are the coalition’s figures. They are not a count of the Houthi claim.

On Saturday the Houthis said they had targeted the East-West pipeline, pumping stations, an Aramco facility in Yanbu and the Rabigh refinery. There was no Saudi confirmation of those claims either. Saturday is not Monday. This note does not add the two days into one strike.

There was no immediate Saudi confirmation.

The photograph was released Saturday, Oct. 24. Officials stand over debris from ballistic missile interceptions at Ar Rashidiyyah, near Mecca. A red ribbon runs to a dark cylinder on the ground. The Saudi Press Agency handed the frame to Reuters. It is not Monday’s claim, and it is not the airport.
