Yemen's Houthis say they attacked Aramco facility in Riyadh with missiles, drones
The group said the strike used ballistic missiles and drones as fighting with Saudi Arabia intensified after a ceasefire collapsed.
- On Saturday, the Iran-aligned Houthis claimed they targeted an Aramco facility in Riyadh with a "military operation with ballistic missiles and drones," causing visible fires at the site.
- Fighting has intensified since a fragile truce collapsed in July, with the Houthis recently launching attacks on Saudi oil facilities including a power station in Medina earlier this week.
- The Saudi-led coalition reported carrying out 97 "precise targeting operations," with Colonel Majed Abdullah al-Nazili, spokesman for Yemen's internationally recognised government forces, saying the attacks killed "at least 260 Houthi fighters and destroyed or disabled 44 military vehicles."
- Neither Saudi officials nor Aramco have confirmed the reported refinery fire, while Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree reported that Saudi Arabia launched 94 airstrikes across Yemen in the past 24 hours.
- The conflict has persisted since the Houthis seized Sanaa in 2014, forcing the Yemeni government to retreat to Aden, while the group recently seized strategic positions in the Bab al-Mandeb strait.
