Houthis Claim Drone Attack on Saudi Aramco Refinery Amid Regional Tensions
Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels claimed drone and missile attacks on Saudi Aramco's Jazan refinery and the Yemeni port city of Mokha, amid escalating tensions in the Red Sea region. Saudi authorities reported a fire at the refinery, which was extinguished with no injuries. The strikes followed Saudi Arabia's recent defence pact with Turkey and Pakistan, aimed at collective security. The Houthis cited Saudi actions in Yemen as justification, while Riyadh denied the blockade allegations. The conflict adds to regional instability amid broader Middle East tensions.
