Houthis Claim Missile and Drone Strikes on Saudi Aramco Facilities in Yanbu
The Houthi movement claimed it struck Saudi Aramco facilities in Yanbu al-Bahr with dozens of ballistic missiles and drones, as announced by military spokesperson General Yahya Sari. The claim is unverified and follows a pattern of Houthi attacks on Saudi energy infrastructure, but the scale and location on the western coast mark a notable escalation if confirmed. This could disrupt oil supply routes and heighten regional tensions.
