Houthi attacks target an oil pipeline and facility, "Aramco" company and an air base in Saudi Arabia

The Houthis announced on Thursday evening targeting the East-West pipeline, Yanbu oil port, Khamis Mushait air base, and the headquarters of "Aramco" company in Riyadh with drones and ballistic missiles. Military spokesman Yahya Saree confirmed the operations successfully achieved their objectives.

The Houthis announced on Thursday evening targeting the East-West pipeline, Yanbu oil port on the Red Sea in western Saudi Arabia, Khamis Mushait air base, and the headquarters of "Aramco" company in the capital Riyadh, amid ongoing mutual strikes between the two sides. Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree stated in a statement that two operations were carried out: the first targeted "pumping station number seven on the East-West line with a drone," and the second targeted "the Yanbu oil facility with a ballistic missile." He later announced targeting "Aramco" company in Riyadh with a drone, saying "the operation successfully achieved its goal." In two other operations, Saree said "the Yemeni armed forces targeted a military cargo plane at Shurata airport with a drone, and the operation achieved its goal," in addition to targeting "Khamis Mushait air base with a ballistic missile, with a direct hit." Since last July, Houthi attacks with missiles and drones on sites in Saudi Arabia have escalated, including civilian airports and energy production facilities. In response, the spokesman for the Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen, Turki al-Maliki, announced on Wednesday the interception and destruction of 3 cruise missiles launched by the Houthis towards the Riyadh region, in addition to two drones targeting Mecca and the southern region, and two ballistic missiles in the western region.
