Yemen's Houthis say they attacked Aramco facility in Riyadh with missiles, drones
The group said the strike caused fires as Saudi authorities and Aramco did not immediately confirm damage or casualties.
- On Saturday, Yemen's Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for missile and drone strikes targeting Saudi Aramco facilities in Riyadh and the Khurais area, citing retaliation for military aggression.
- Hostilities reignited in July 2026 after Saudi-led coalition forces struck Sanaa International Airport, ending a four-year de-escalation and prompting the Houthis to describe the conflict as an "unjust siege."
- Flames and smoke were observed by Agence France-Presse journalists and satellite imagery at the refinery on Saturday, though Aramco and Saudi authorities have not confirmed the cause of the fire.
- Brent Crude prices rose above $106 a barrel on Monday as global oil markets reacted to the claims, with analysts warning that disruptions to Saudi Arabia's output could unsettle the volatile market.
- Beyond land-based strikes, the Houthis declared a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia, threatening energy supply lines through the strategic Bab al-Mandab Strait as military operations intensify across Yemen.
