Houthis say they targeted Saudi oil giant Aramco, vow more attacks
A Houthi military spokesman said their forces had conducted a military operation targeting Aramco in Dhahran, Riyadh airport and a refinery in the Saudi capital.
On Wednesday, the Yemeni Houthi group claimed responsibility for an attack on Saudi Aramco facilities, according to a statement from their military spokesman, Yahya Saree. The attack targeted Aramco's headquarters in Dhahran, resulting in a limited fire but no casualties. The Saudi energy ministry reported a strike on a building within the energy giant's operations center area.
Simultaneously, powerful explosions were heard in Riyadh, with the Saudi coalition claiming to have intercepted a missile targeting the capital. Aramco confirmed a hit on a tower within its headquarters, with top floors damaged. The attack marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis, who have been targeting Saudi infrastructure in recent days.
