Houthi drone attacks hit Saudi sites
This is not an isolated incident: Houthi rebels from Yemen have been ramping up drone attacks on Saudi infrastructure lately.
Airports and oil sites have been hit before, including a deadly strike last month and another that sparked a fire in an administrative building at Aramco.
These attacks follow renewed fighting in Yemen after years of relative calm, making things tense across the region.
