Houthis claims attacks on airport and oil facilities in Saudi Arabia

The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen announced a major military operation targeting oil facilities and an international airport in Saudi Arabia. The claim described the attack as involving ballistic and cruise missiles as well as drones.

The assertion was made after the Saudi-led coalition reportedly struck an oil facility in Yemen’s rebel-held capital, Sanaa. The timing suggests a response to that strike, according to the Houthis.

The statements specified that the targets were oil facilities and an international airport within Saudi Arabia. No further details on the exact locations or scope were provided in the material.

The report does not include any information on casualties, aircraft specifics, or the outcomes of the operation. It also does not confirm dates beyond the sequence of events described in the provided material.

The briefing aligns with ongoing regional tensions between Yemen’s Houthis and Saudi Arabia, with past exchanges of attacks and counterattacks involving missiles, drones, and facilities linked to oil and aviation infrastructure.
