Houthis claim missile, drone attacks on Saudi Aramco sites

The Houthi group in Yemen on Sunday claimed missile and drone strikes on facilities of Saudi oil giant Aramco in Riyadh and the Khurais area, east of the capital, causing fires at the targeted sites.

In a video statement posted on US social media platform X, Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said the group carried out two military operations targeting the company.

He claimed both operations “successfully achieved their objectives,” with precise hits causing large fires at the targeted locations.

There was no immediate comment from Saudi authorities or Aramco on the claim.
