Houthis Claim Drone Attack on Saudi Aramco Refinery Amid Yemen Conflict Escalation
Yemen's Houthi rebels claimed a drone attack on Saudi Aramco's refinery in the Jizan region, describing it as a precise strike in response to Saudi violations of Yemeni airspace and sovereignty in Saada and Hajjah. This marks the second attack on the facility within a week amid the collapse of a years-long truce in Yemen's civil war. The Houthis have also announced a maritime blockade of Saudi Arabia and targeted shipping in the Red Sea, escalating regional tensions involving Iran and Saudi Arabia.
