Houthis claim attacks on Riyadh, Aramco facilities in Yanbu

Houthis claim attacks on Riyadh, Aramco facilities in Yanbu Yemen's Houthi movement says it fired ballistic missiles and drones at what it called "sensitive sites" in Riyadh, along with Saudi Aramco facilities in Yanbu.

"In response to the Saudi enemy's criminal attempts to target the capital Sana'a...

the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out two successful military operations using a large number of ballistic and cruise missiles and drones," Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said, in a statement on Telegram.

"The first targeted sensitive sites in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, and the second targeted Aramco facilities in Yanbu.

" The Houthi statement came after firefighters extinguished a blaze on a fuel tank emblazoned with the logo of the Saudi oil giant Aramco at a fuel depot near Riyadh's international airport on Saturday.

Saudi authorities have not yet confirmed the Houthis' claims.
