Reuters: Houthis say they targeted Riyadh and an Aramco facility

Reuters quoted Yemen's Houthis as saying they had targeted Riyadh and an Aramco facility in Saudi Arabia with missiles. The Houthis said they struck Riyadh with ballistic missiles and targeted an Aramco facility in Yanbu. King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh saw major flight disruption, and a fuel tank belonging to Aramco near the airport caught fire.

Why it matters: The reported strikes on Riyadh and an Aramco facility bear directly on the briefing's energy-security theme.
