According to Sina Finance, citing the Saba news agency controlled by the Houthi movement, two drones operated by the Houthis struck a Saudi Aramco refinery in Jizan. The attack was reportedly carried out as an act of retaliation for what the Houthis described as Saudi Arabia's "violations" of Yemeni airspace and sovereignty in the regions of Saada and Hajjah.
The report indicates that the drone attack targeted critical infrastructure at the refinery, which is a key component of Saudi Arabia's energy sector. The Houthis claimed that their actions are part of ongoing efforts to respond to perceived aggression and violations against Yemen’s sovereignty, warning that they will continue to retaliate against any actions they deem to violate Yemen's territorial integrity.
The attack underscores the ongoing volatility in the region, with Yemen’s Houthi movement actively engaging in military actions against Saudi targets. The Houthis reiterated their stance that they will persist in responding to what they call hostile actions by Saudi-led coalition forces and the Saudi government.
Saudi authorities have yet to release detailed statements about the incident, but it is expected to raise concerns about regional security and the stability of energy infrastructure in the area. The attack may also have implications for oil supply and regional geopolitical tensions, as the Jizan refinery is a strategic asset within Saudi Arabia’s energy landscape.
