Yemen's Houthi movement said it carried out a drone attack on Saudi Aramco infrastructure in Najran, according to a statement citing Saba. The movement said the strike achieved its objective, but no damage confirmation from Saba or other outlets had been reported.
The Houthi Claim
Yemen's Houthi movement, also known as Ansar Allah, said it used a single drone to attack Saudi Aramco infrastructure in Najran. The claim was published in a press release citing Saba, Yemen's state-run news agency. A Houthi-linked source said the strike achieved its objective and offered no damage or casualty figures. No independent confirmation had been reported by Saba or other media.
Two Days of Strikes
The claimed Najran attack is the second reported Houthi strike on Saudi Aramco facilities in two days, after a refinery attack in Jizan one day earlier. The movement has carried out cross-border attacks against Saudi territory since late July. The movement says the campaign aims to end a Saudi naval blockade of Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen.
What's Next
Saudi Arabia and Saudi Aramco had not commented on the reported Najran attack by publication time. It remains unclear whether the claimed drone strike caused damage and whether it will lead to further escalation along the Saudi-Yemen border.
