Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said in a post on X on Friday that the group's forces had carried out two drone attacks targeting Saudi Arabia's King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and a pumping station on the kingdom's East-West oil pipeline, Iran International reports.

"Our armed forces carried out two special military operations. The first targeted King Khalid International Airport in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, with a drone and successfully achieved its objective," Saree said.

"The other targeted pumping station No. 3 on the East-West pipeline, east of Riyadh, with two drones, and the operation successfully achieved its objective," he added.

There was no immediate confirmation from Saudi authorities, and the claims could not be independently verified.
