The situation in Yemen continues to escalate as the Houthi rebels claim to have attacked an Aramco facility in Riyadh using ballistic missiles and drones. Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree stated the operation was precise, resulting in fires at the site, although Saudi authorities and Aramco have not confirmed the attack.
Smoke and fire were reported near the facility, while the Saudi-led coalition conducted extensive operations against Houthi reinforcements, claiming significant casualties among the rebels. The tensions have increased since a truce ended in July, with the Houthis previously targeting other Aramco facilities and local infrastructure, highlighting the ongoing conflict that began in 2014 following the Houthi seizure of Sanaa. The humanitarian implications continue to worsen, with many displaced by the renewed fighting.
