Yemen's Houthis say they fired missiles at Saudi forces in Jazan
The group said it fired two ballistic missiles and separately claimed strikes on an airport and pipeline site as tensions over oil flows rose.
- On Friday, Iran-aligned Houthis claimed they fired two ballistic missiles at Saudi forces in Al-Tuwal, Jazan province, while also targeting Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport and an East-West Pipeline pumping station.
- Southern Saudi Arabia, which borders Yemen, has faced repeated missile and drone attacks on military installations and energy infrastructure, including a Saudi Aramco refinery in Jazan with 400,000-barrel daily capacity.
- Riyadh rerouted about 4 million barrels of crude oil daily via the East-West Pipeline to the Red Sea port of Yanbu, equivalent to about 4% of global supply amid Hormuz Strait disruptions.
- Fighting between the Houthis and the coalition backing Yemen's government intensified after the group advanced toward the Bab Mandeb Strait, a strategic chokepoint at the southern Red Sea entrance.
- No immediate Saudi confirmation followed the Houthi claims, which came hours after civil defense officials issued an all-clear for Jazan province.
