Houthis’ revenge after Trump warning? Missile alert in Riyadh & Kharj hours after Aramco HQ attack

Published on Oct 14, 2026 10:47 pm IST

New explosions were reported in Riyadh hours after US President Donald Trump issued a warning, raising fresh concerns over Saudi Arabia’s air defence capabilities amid escalating regional tensions. The Saudi-led coalition reportedly intercepted a ballistic missile launched towards the capital, while air raid alerts were also reported in nearby Kharj. No immediate casualties or damage were reported following the latest missile alert. Kharj is home to Prince Sultan Air Base and a key Saudi military industries facility, adding to concerns over the potential threat to strategic military infrastructure. The latest developments come as Saudi Arabia faces warnings that its stockpile of missile interceptors may be dwindling under repeated aerial attacks. Riyadh has reportedly sought additional military support from allies, including Washington, as questions grow over whether the kingdom can sustain its air defences if attacks continue.
