Story summary

On October 3, 2026, flames and smoke were observed rising from an Aramco facility located on the outskirts of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia's capital. This incident follows a series of attacks by the Houthi group against Saudi oil infrastructure in recent weeks as part of their conflict with Yemen. The Houthis claimed they targeted Aramco facilities in Riyadh and Yanbu with missiles and drones, stating it was retaliation for ongoing Saudi strikes on Sanaa and other areas under Houthi control. Though there has been no official confirmation from either side regarding the fire at the Aramco facility, this event highlights the escalating tensions between Saudi Arabia and Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis, who have also announced a maritime blockade in the Red Sea, threatening Saudi crude oil shipments to international markets.
