Houthi forces claimed responsibility for launching attacks against King Khalid International Airport and a financial centre in Riyadh, alongside critical energy facilities. Military spokesperson Yahya Saree stated that the strikes also targeted an Aramco facility in Abqaiq and several pumping stations along the kingdom's East-West pipeline. According to Saree, the operation was conducted in retaliation for Saudi military strikes that hit shoppers at the Al-Hadara Market in Taiz and destroyed a village in the Bani Hashish District. He further asserted that American-made GBU-12 and GBU-38 munitions were utilized in those preceding Saudi operations.

And its crime of wiping out an entire village in Bani Hashish District with American "GBU-12" and "GBU-38" bombs, along with other massacres and crimes."
