Ansarullah Launches Large-Scale Military Operation Against Saudi Aramco Facilities
Yemen's Ansarullah group launched a large-scale military operation targeting Saudi Aramco facilities and military sites in response to ongoing Saudi airstrikes in Yemen. According to Yahya Saree, Ansarullah's military spokesperson, the operation involved dozens of ballistic missiles and drones.
The targeted areas included Abha, Najran, Jizan, and Khamis Mushait Air Base, with extensive damage reported at the facilities. Saree emphasized that the strikes were precise and direct.
The operation was in response to 121 Saudi airstrikes over the past three days in various provinces of Yemen, including Marib, Al-Bayda, Al-Hudaydah, Taiz, and Al-Jawf. The strikes allegedly caused casualties among inmates and visitors at the Central Prison in Al-Hazm, Al-Jawf.
The Saudi Energy Ministry confirmed fires at energy facilities in the kingdom's southern region and temporarily halted some operations at the targeted sites. Data from Egypt's Intel Observer suggested that several strategic facilities were affected, including Aramco's Jazan oil refinery and the Jazan Bulk Plant.
