Yemen's Houthi rebels claimed a drone attack on a Saudi Aramco facility in Najran on Friday, according to the group's Saba news agency. A Houthi military source said the strike was in response to Saudi violations of Yemeni airspace and sovereignty in Saada and Hajjah provinces. The claim follows a similar attack on an Aramco refinery in Jazan on Sunday, which the Houthis said set a storage tank on fire. Saudi authorities confirmed the fire was extinguished with no injuries. Aramco and Saudi officials have not commented on the latest report. The Houthis have threatened to blockade Saudi oil flows since July, citing a Saudi blockade of Yemen.
