Yemen's Houthis say attacked airport, Aramco facility in Saudi Arabia's Najran
On Thursday, Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for attacking an airport and an Aramco facility in Saudi Arabia's southern Najran region, located near the Yemeni border, according to AFP. The Houthi military spokesperson, Yahya Saree, announced that the group had successfully completed two drone strikes: the first on Najran Airport and the second on the Aramco facility.
These actions came amid Iran's Revolutionary Guards warning that Saudi Arabia would be unable to contain the Houthis as they intensify attacks on the kingdom. The Houthis, who have been embroiled in a civil war in Yemen for over a decade, were drawn into the broader Middle Eastern conflict in July following the suspension of a 2022 truce with the Saudi-backed government.
There are reports that the Houthis plan to seize territory along the Bab al-Mandab Strait, potentially threatening a vital shipping route.
