  "summary": "Yemen's Houthi fighters have claimed they targeted a major Saudi Arabian oil facility with ballistic missiles and drones. According to Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree, the attacks caused fires at the targeted sites and were in response to Saudi air raids on Houthi-controlled territory in Yemen, including Sanaa. The Houthis reported 60 air attacks on their territory in the past 24 hours.\n\nA witness reported seeing smoke and fire near the Aramco facility near Riyadh, but Saudi authorities and Aramco did not immediately confirm the attack. The Houthi-affiliated channel Al-Masirah TV reported that Saudi aircraft hit Sanaa with 26 strikes.\n\nThe conflict has worsened humanitarian conditions in Yemen, with the Houthis and Saudi Arabia trading strikes since the Houthis seized Yemen's Red Sea coast and took control of the Bab al-Mandab Strait.",
