The Houthis described this as a response to more than 450 Saudi airstrikes over the past week.

Yemen's Houthis announced two new attacks on targets in Saudi Arabia. According to their claims, dozens of ballistic missiles and drones were launched at facilities of the oil company Aramco in Yanbu, leading to major fires and significant destruction. Additionally, an airbase in Khamis Mushait was shelled with ballistic missiles. The Houthis described these attacks as a response to more than 450 Saudi airstrikes carried out over the past week. The report on the strike on Yanbu is particularly significant: the pipeline connecting the oil fields to the port stopped working after the attack on September 10, and Aramco has already canceled some deliveries to Europe. If the facilities in Yanbu are indeed damaged, this could complicate oil exports. No reliable data confirming the damage has been received yet. The Houthis have stated their intention to continue attacks, following the principle of "blockade in response to blockade, escalation in response to escalation."
