The Saudi-led military coalition said on early Sunday that the Houthi rebels launched four attacks on the kingdom, state media reported.
The attacks damaged civilian cars and homes but caused no casualties, it said.
It was the latest escalation in a slate of Houthi cross-border attacks on Saudi Arabia, just as peace talks between the two sides remain stalled. The ongoing conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Iran-backed Houthi rebels has taken a devastating toll on Yemen since 2015.
A facility run by state-owned oil company Aramco in Jizan, southern Saudi Arabia was targeted by the Houthis early Sunday, the coalition said.
They also hit a desalination plant in Al-Shaqeeq, a power station in the southern Dhahran al Janub city, and a gas facility in Khamis Mushait, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.
Photos and a video clip posted by the state news agency showed firefighters tackling a blaze at the power station.
Local news outlet Al Ain later reported the coalition saying that it intercepted and destroyed nine drones launched in the kingdom's southern region that targeted economic facilities.
The coalition also foiled an attack on an Aramco Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) facility in the Saudi port city of Yanbu, according to state television.
