Houthis say Saudi Arabia launches dozens of strikes on Yemen capital
Strikes hit both capitals as the Houthis report 26 Saudi raids on Sanaa and a fire breaks out at an Aramco facility near Riyadh.
The Yemeni Houthi group has accused Saudi Arabia of launching a series of strikes on the capital city of Sanaa, reporting 26 raids on the city, according to Al-Masirah TV channel. A Yemeni journalist in Riyadh witnessed flames and smoke emanating from an Aramco facility near the capital, though neither the Saudi authorities nor the Houthi group have commented on the refinery fire.
The ongoing conflict in Yemen, which erupted in July, has seen the Houthis seize control of the country's Red Sea coast and Bab al-Mandab strait, as well as striking multiple Saudi targets, including oil infrastructure and the Saudi capital Riyadh.
