Houthis Strike Saudi Oil Refineries in Red Sea Port Attack

Yemen's Houthi group has targeted Saudi oil refineries in the Red Sea ports of Yanbu and Jizan, as tensions between the two sides continue to escalate.

The Iran-backed group said it had launched missiles and drones at Aramco refineries in the area.

Saudi civil defence issued warnings for the two cities earlier on Saturday morning.

Security sources told Reuters that air defences in Yanbu successfully intercepted two ballistic missiles fired from Yemen, but it is unclear if any damage was done to the refineries.

Houthi-affiliated media shared images and video purporting to show explosions and smoke at Jizan, which has been verified by Reuters.
