Russia behind the scenes: The exposure on Houthi attacks in Saudi Arabia

An AP investigation reveals a possible link between Russian spy satellites and dozens of Houthi attacks in Saudi Arabia. An intelligence company found a complete match between satellite activity and strike locations, but no direct evidence of information transfer was presented.

An investigation by the Associated Press, published on Channel 14, reveals a possible link between Russian spy satellites and dozens of attacks by the Houthis and pro-Iranian militias in Saudi Arabia. A Geneva-based geospatial intelligence company examined 40 missile and drone attacks carried out between July 1 and October 19, and found a complete match between the activity of Russian government and military satellites and the strike locations. The company's founder, Nawaf Obaid, said the pattern of activity suggests the possibility of using Russian intelligence to plan the attacks, but emphasized that no direct evidence of information transfer was presented. One of the significant attacks occurred on September 10, when drones struck three main pumping stations on the oil pipeline crossing Saudi Arabia. Three sources, including a Saudi official and a senior Houthi figure, said the Houthis and other organizations benefited from Russian intelligence information and Chinese capabilities, with Iranian advisors analyzing the information and passing it on to organizations operating in the region.
