Yemeni leader thanks Saudi Arabia for support during crisis
Yemen's presidential council chief Rashad Al-Alimi praised Saudi Arabia for standing by Yemen in its toughest times and being a key security partner.
The Houthi group has alleged a series of assaults on facilities operated by Saudi energy conglomerate Aramco in Riyadh and the Khurais region in eastern Saudi Arabia. Yahya Saree, the spokesman for the Houthi military, made these claims on the social media platform X. According to Saree, Houthi fighters had targeted the sites using ballistic missiles and drones, and that both operations successfully accomplished their intended goals.
Saree emphasized that the strikes were precise and resulted in significant fires at the targeted sites. He further stated that the attacks were carried out in response to Saudi air strikes on Houthi-controlled areas within Yemen, and warned of further attacks on Saudi military and energy installations. Saree highlighted that during the past 12 hours, the enemy had launched a total of 50 air strikes and missiles against the capital, Sanaa, as well as the governorates of al-Jawf, Taiz, Amran, Hajjah, and Sadah.
