Houthi military spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced that the group had targeted Saudi oil company Aramco in the capital, Riyadh, using a drone.
In a statement posted on his Telegram channel, Saree said: “Our armed forces successfully targeted the Aramco company in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, with a drone moments ago, and the operation achieved its objective.”
In an earlier statement, he added that the Yemeni armed forces had targeted a military cargo aircraft at Sharurah Airport using a drone, while carrying out another operation against the Khamis Mushait Air Base with a ballistic missile.
He also referred to two additional military operations targeting Pumping Station No. 7 on the East-West Pipeline using a drone, and the Yanbu oil facility. He described reports claiming that two missiles had been intercepted over the skies of Mecca as “a grave falsehood.”
Meanwhile, Major General Turki Al-Maliki, spokesperson for the Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen, announced on Thursday that a drone had been intercepted and destroyed in the Riyadh region.
Military escalation continues across several fronts in Yemen, alongside clashes in Marib, Al-Jawf and Taiz, amid warnings about the consequences of the intensifying conflict.
