Houthis Claim Drone Attacks on Najran Airport and Aramco Facility in Saudi Arabia
Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels claimed two drone attacks on Thursday targeting Najran airport and an Aramco facility in Saudi Arabia's southern Najran region near the Yemeni border. The group's military spokesperson, Yahya Saree, described the sites as sensitive and confirmed the operations. The Houthis have escalated hostilities after ending a 2022 truce with Yemen's Saudi-backed government, including a maritime blockade and attacks on Saudi infrastructure. Details on damage from the strikes were not provided.
