A Saudi military spokesperson said six ballistic missiles launched by the Houthis were directed at cities in the kingdom, according to reporting available on September 24, 2026. The Houthis had not immediately commented, and the available reports did not establish casualties or the extent of damage. The incident comes amid heightened regional tensions, including renewed attention to Iran’s nuclear program, Israel-Gaza hostilities and attacks involving Iran-aligned groups. If confirmed, the missile launches could increase pressure on Saudi Arabia and its partners to respond and further complicate diplomatic efforts to contain the conflict.
