Houthis target airports and oil sites in Saudi Arabia
Reports indicate that the Yemeni Houthi group carried out three military operations targeting airports, oil facilities, and military sites in Saudi Arabia. The group employed ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones, targeting King Khalid Airport in Riyadh, which disrupted civil aviation; the Aramco refinery in Rabigh, which resulted in a fire; as well as Abha Airport, Khamis Mushait Base, and Aakifa Camp in Asir, along with other locations in Najran and Jazan. These attacks come in response to more than 1,576 Saudi airstrikes and missile launches since the escalation began, according to the group's statement, which blamed Saudi Arabia for escalating the military conflict in Yemen. Saudi Arabia has not issued an official comment. In the same context, the Saudi-led coalition supporting the Yemeni government conducted a military operation in Hodeidah province, targeting Houthi military sites and successfully destroying legitimate targets. This escalation has been ongoing since July 2023, as part of efforts by the Yemeni army and Houthis to regain control of key areas, including Al-Mokha city and the Bab al-Mandab region. These operations are part of the broader campaign that started in April 2022 to end the Houthis' coup against the legitimate government.
