Yemen's Houthis say they attacked Aramco facility in Riyadh with missiles, drones
Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree claimed the strikes achieved their objectives and caused fires, while Saudi authorities have not confirmed 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.
