Yemen's Ansarallah movement (Houthis) launched drone strikes on Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport and Saudi Arabia's East-West oil pipeline, the group’s spokesperson, Yahya Saree, said on Friday.

One drone targeted the airport and two others struck Pumping Station No. 3 east of Riyadh, Saree stated, adding that both operations achieved their objectives.

The group also reported firing two ballistic missiles at Saudi troop concentrations in Al-Tuwal, Jazan, claiming dozens of casualties, including Sudanese personnel. Saree also said the group fired missiles at Saudi-backed forces in eastern Al-Jawf and the Kharaz and Khor Umayra areas of Lahij province, killing and wounding an unspecified number of fighters.

In Aden, the group said its missiles and drones struck weapons depots at Ras Abbas military camp, causing fires.

The Houthis also said Saudi forces carried out 85 airstrikes and a missile attack over the preceding 24 hours across Lahij, Taiz, Saada, Al-Jawf, Marib, and Amran, causing civilian casualties. Houthi-affiliated Al-Masirah TV reported Saudi missile strikes in border areas of Saada and an airstrike in Al-Nashma in Taiz.

Separately, the Houthi-run Health Ministry in Sanaa reported 12 deaths, including eight children, and 14 injuries following an attack on Al-Mukhaaf market.

Meanwhile, Yemen TV, affiliated with the internationally recognized government, reported that Houthi sniper fire killed a child and injured two women in Taiz. Government-aligned reports also said Houthi ballistic missiles targeted civilian areas in Aden.

Yemeni military spokesperson Majed Al-Nuzaili said forces loyal to the internationally recognized government carried out 943 strikes and targeting operations, including 18 airstrikes, 21 drone attacks, 27 rocket artillery strikes, and 877 field artillery operations against Houthi positions across several fronts.

According to Al-Nuzaili, the operations killed or wounded 221 Houthi commanders and fighters and destroyed or damaged 73 military vehicles and pieces of heavy equipment.

Government forces also reported shooting down a Houthi explosive-laden drone along the northern front in Marib province.
