The Houthi movement has claimed responsibility for recent attacks on Riyadh and Aramco facilities in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia. According to a statement released on Telegram, the group says it fired ballistic missiles and drones at what it described as "sensitive sites" in Riyadh, as well as Saudi Aramco facilities in Yanbu. In response to these alleged attacks, the Yemeni Armed Forces reportedly conducted two successful military operations using a significant number of ballistic and cruise missiles and drones.
The first attack targeted sensitive sites in Riyadh, while the second focused on Aramco facilities in Yanbu. This claim comes after a fuel depot near Riyadh's international airport, owned by Aramco, was set ablaze on Saturday, with firefighters successfully extinguishing the blaze. However, Saudi authorities have yet to confirm the Houthis' assertions.
