Drones attack on Saudi Aramco in Riyadh by Yemen’s Houthi militia

Sanna: Yemen’s Houthi rebels declared they launched multiple attacks using six explosive-laden drones at Saudi Aramco facilities in the kingdom’s capital Riyadh on Friday.

“The attacks hit the targets precisely,” the Houthi-run al-Masirah TV quoted a declaration by the militia’s military spokesman Yehya Sarea.

The spokesman stated, “Our attacks will continue against Saudi Arabia as long as the aggression and blockade on our nation continue,”

The Houthi rebels have stepped up cross-border attacks against Saudi towns and oil facilities recently. Most of the interventions were foiled by the Saudi-led alliance forces.

Yemen’s Houthi rebels carried out another attack on Saudi Arabian soil on Tuesday. According to the rebels’ claim, the attack on the King Khalid airbase of Mushayat city occurred at the exact location. Saudi Arabia, however, denied the claim of the Houthi rebels, saying the explosive-laden drone had been destroyed. In recent days, there have been various attacks on Saudi oil companies allegedly by Houthi rebels, which has also affected the prices of fuel internationally.
