Saba reports unconfirmed Saudi-led air strikes on Sanaa after Riyadh interceptions
The Houthi-run Saba news agency reported Saudi-led coalition air strikes on Sanaa, hitting the al-Mufazir gas facility and a state oil company building, Al Jazeera and Reuters said; the coalition did not immediately confirm the strikes. This follows the coalition’s account that it intercepted missiles fired towards Riyadh and the south, a day after a limited fire on the East-West oil pipeline.
UPDATE, 10 Nov 2026, 08:33 Romania time: the Houthi-run Saba news agency reported Saudi-led coalition air strikes on Sanaa, the Yemeni capital, which the Houthis control, Al Jazeera and Reuters said. Saba said the strikes hit the al-Mufazir gas facility in the Jadar district, north of the capital, and a building belonging to the state oil company in southern Sanaa, and that civil defence teams were working to put out a fire in gas trailers at the al-Mufazir station. The coalition did not immediately confirm the strikes, both agencies reported. No casualty figures were given in those reports.
The Saudi Arabia-led coalition fighting Yemen’s Houthis said on Tuesday, 10 November 2026, that it intercepted two missiles fired towards Riyadh and a third aimed at the country’s south, according to Al Jazeera and Arab News.
Coalition spokesperson Maj. Gen. Turki al-Maliki blamed the Iran-backed Houthis. In posts on X, he said a ballistic missile and a cruise missile were intercepted and destroyed over Riyadh, while a second ballistic missile was downed over the south. Arab News added that a drone was also intercepted in the Eastern Region.
AFP reported multiple explosions in Riyadh and said residents received text alerts telling them to take shelter because of an “aerial threat”; civil defence later said the danger had passed. There was no immediate comment from the Houthis, Al Jazeera said. No casualties were mentioned in the reports.
On Monday, Al Jazeera reported, the East-West oil pipeline in the Medina region was attacked again; a Saudi Energy Ministry official told the Saudi Press Agency the strike caused a “limited fire” that was extinguished and that operations were unaffected, with no injuries. Al Jazeera also reported that the Houthis said on Sunday they attacked Riyadh’s business district, while Saudi officials said debris from an “attempted attack” caused minor damage to the Aramco Tower.
Arab News also reported that the coalition said on Monday it destroyed three Houthi facilities used for ballistic missile production. These claims come from the parties involved and were not independently verified here.
