The Houthi movement claims to have carried out operations against Saudi Aramco oil facilities in the cities of Jizan and Yanbu, according to Arab media reports. The claim is unverified by independent sources and comes amid a series of Houthi attacks on Saudi infrastructure earlier today.
The Houthi movement now claims to have carried out operations against Saudi Aramco facilities in the cities of Jizan and Yanbu, according to Arab media reports. The claim is unverified, and no details on the nature or scale of the operations have been provided.
Earlier today, at 10:32 Jerusalem time, The Zioneer reported that the Houthis had reportedly bombed the Saudi Red Sea port of Yanbu, the Khalid Air Force base, and Aramco facilities in Jizan. At 12:41, satellite data from NASA confirmed fire hotspots at the Aramco refinery in Jazan, following the earlier strikes. The current claim appears to be a direct statement from the Houthi movement regarding those operations, though it is unclear whether it refers to new attacks or is a confirmation of the earlier events.
The Houthis, part of the Iranian-led Axis of Resistance, have been escalating attacks on Saudi energy infrastructure in recent days. The claim remains unconfirmed by independent sources, and no additional evidence has been released.
