Houthi forces said they launched strikes on Saudi oil facilities on the Red Sea coast, naming sites linked to state energy company Aramco in Jizan and Yanbu. The claim was made by Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree, who said the locations were successfully hit.
The reported attack came as fighting tied to Yemen's long-running war continued to spill across the border. According to the available report, Saudi-backed forces also carried out bombings against the Houthis on the same day, highlighting the back-and-forth nature of the conflict.
Jizan and Yanbu are important coastal locations for Saudi energy infrastructure, so any attack involving Aramco sites is likely to draw close attention from regional observers and oil markets. The incident also points to the continued risk facing installations along the Red Sea during periods of heightened tension.
The exchange is another sign that the Yemen conflict remains active despite repeated international efforts to reduce violence. With the Houthis aligned against the Saudi-backed side in the war, attacks on strategic targets continue to raise concerns about broader regional security.
