Houthis Claim Responsibility for Attacks on Riyadh and Aramco Facilities
The Houthi movement in Yemen has claimed responsibility for attacks on Saudi Arabia's capital Riyadh and Aramco facilities in Yanbu. According to a statement by Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree, the group fired ballistic missiles and drones at what they called 'sensitive sites' in Riyadh, as well as Aramco facilities in Yanbu.
The statement came after a blaze broke out on a fuel tank emblazoned with the logo of Saudi oil giant Aramco at a fuel depot near Riyadh's international airport on Saturday. The Houthi movement has been at odds with the Saudi-led coalition, which has been involved in Yemen's civil war.
The Saudi authorities have not yet confirmed the Houthis' claims. However, the group's statement is significant as it highlights the ongoing tensions between the Houthi movement and the Saudi-led coalition.
