Houthi Rebels Launch Coordinated Assault on Saudi Oil Facilities

The Houthi rebels, backed by Tehran, launched a significant military operation in southern Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, targeting four cities and sparking widespread concern.

The assault, which utilized drones and missiles, hit a crucial Saudi airbase in Khamis Mushait and key facilities belonging to the state oil company in Abha, Najran, and Jazan. These sites house vital refinery and power plants.

Saudi authorities have confirmed massive blazes at these locations, with over 70 people injured, including women and children. The situation remains fluid due to restricted media access within the country.
