Houthis Claim Attack on Saudi Oil Facility Amid Escalating Tensions

The Houthi rebels in Yemen have claimed responsibility for an attack on an oil facility in southwestern Saudi Arabia. The attack, which occurred on Sunday, targeted an Aramco refinery in the city of Jazan with a drone.

According to Yahya Saree, a military spokesperson for the Houthis, the attack was in response to Saudi drones breaching Yemen's airspace over the provinces of Hajjah and Saada. The attack caused a fire at the facility, but there were no reported casualties.

The incident is part of a series of missile and drone attacks that have targeted Saudi Arabia and its shipping in the Red Sea. The escalation threatens to reignite Yemen's civil war, which was stopped by a 2022 truce more than four years ago.
