Massive fire reported after Houthi strikes on Saudi Aramco sites
Houthi military spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree claimed that up to 60 airstrikes and missile attacks had been carried out against Sanaa and other areas under Houthi control in the past 24 hours. Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis said they launched ballistic missiles and drones at Saudi Aramco facilities in Riyadh and the Khurais area, claiming the strikes triggered major fires at the targeted sites, newsy agency Reuters reported.
The group said the operation was carried out in response to Saudi-led coalition strikes on Yemen. “The operation successfully achieved its objective, thanks to Allah,” Saree said. “The strikes were precise and direct, resulting in fire breaking out at the targeted sites,” he added.
Yemen’s internationally recognised government, meanwhile, confirmed strikes against what it called “vital targets” in Houthi-controlled Sanaa and Saada. “We are delivering painful strikes against vital targets of the terrorist Houthi militia in Sanaa and Saada,” its armed forces spokesperson said, warning that Houthi military capabilities would remain under attack.
