# Flames and a large plume of black smoke were seen near Riyadh’s main airport after Saudi Arabia issued overnight alerts warning of possible aerial attacks. Yemen’s Houthi rebels later claimed they had attacked what they called sensitive sites in the capital with missiles and drones. Reuters photographs showed flames rising from behind what appeared to be fuel tanks near King Khalid International Airport. Saudi civil defence later issued an all-clear. The Houthis also claimed an attack on an Aramco facility in the Red Sea city of Yanbu.
