0:05The Houthis claim six operations targeting locations across Saudi Arabia, including oil and transit infrastructure.
1:00The report describes damage to an Aramco building in Riyadh and the King Abdullah Financial District.
1:40The Saudi-led coalition says its air defenses intercepted four incoming missiles.
2:40Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree says the operations were retaliation for Saudi strikes.
3:45The news footage begins repeating without narration through to the end card.

Oil facilities and an international airport are among the targets named in a Houthi statement at the center of MIRROR NOW's report on explosions in Riyadh. The Yemen-based movement claims it carried out six missile and drone operations across Saudi Arabia; the Saudi-led coalition says its air defenses intercepted four incoming missiles.

The report describes damage to an Aramco building and the King Abdullah Financial District in the Saudi capital. Aramco is Saudi Arabia's national oil company, making the reported targeting significant beyond the buildings themselves. The video combines voiceover reporting with airport footage, missile-launch clips and archival combat scenes.

Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree says the operations were retaliation for Saudi strikes in Yemen. The report places those statements against the relative calm that followed the UN-brokered truce in 2022.

The upload drew about 31,000 views in its first 14 hours, far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for a regular video. A separate Riyadh explosion report also drew an unusually fast audience. Its description says Civil Defense issued an early-warning alert before authorities later announced that the danger had passed.

For viewers choosing what to watch, the main narrated account ends early: after roughly the four-minute mark, MIRROR NOW repeats the news footage without narration.
