RIYADH, July 25 (Saudi Arabia Breaking News) — Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels said they launched missile and drone attacks against Aramco-affiliated facilities in the Saudi cities of Jazan and Yanbu on Saturday, a day after Saudi strikes targeted the group.
The attacks claimed by the Houthis marked a potential new front in the Middle East conflict and raised the risk of further escalation.
Video geolocated by CNN showed large fires burning in an industrial area of Jazan, which is home to a major oil refinery.
The Houthi armed forces said in a statement that they had “carried out two qualitative military operations.”
“The first targeted sensitive Aramco-affiliated facilities in Jazan with dozens of ballistic missiles and drones. And the second operation targeted sensitive Aramco-affiliated facilities in Yanbu with a number of ballistic and cruise missiles and drones,” the statement said.
