KEY POINTS

  • Houthis claim missile and drone attack on Aramco facility in Riyadh
  • AFP journalist observes flames and smoke at site south of capital
  • Group says operation was retaliation for 26 Saudi air raids on Sanaa
  • Houthi spokesman cites 1,410 Saudi strikes on Yemen since September 3
  • Saudi authorities have not commented on either the refinery fire or Sanaa raids

Yemen's Houthi movement said it launched ballistic missiles and drones at an Aramco facility in Riyadh on Saturday, with an AFP journalist reporting flames and smoke rising from the site south of the Saudi capital. The group's military spokesman, Yahya Saree, described the operation as large-scale and precise, causing fires at targeted locations. Saudi authorities have not yet commented on the incident.

The attack came after the Houthis accused Saudi Arabia of carrying out 26 air raids on Sanaa, the Yemeni capital they control, within the previous 24 hours. Houthi-affiliated Al-Masirah TV reported the strikes, and correspondents in Sanaa described loud explosions and warplanes firing missiles. The Saudi-led coalition has not issued a statement on the Sanaa raids.

“We carried out a large-scale military operation using several ballistic missiles and drones to target Aramco in the capital of the Saudi enemy”

— Yahya Saree, Houthi military spokesman

The Houthis said Saudi Arabia has conducted 1,410 air strikes on Yemen since September 3, a figure cited by Saree that could not be independently verified. The Iran-backed group has targeted Aramco facilities multiple times in recent months, including attacks in August and September. Hostilities have intensified since July, opening a new front in the regional conflict.
