Yemen’s Huthis target Saudi oil facilities in new escalation
A missile and drone attack targeted the heart of Saudi Arabia’s oil industry on Sunday in an assault claimed by Yemen’s Huthi rebels, a new escalation in the six-year conflict.
The attack on energy giant Aramco’s facilities came as the Saudi-led military coalition bombed Yemen’s Huthi-controlled capital Sanaa after intercepting a separate flurry of cross-border Huthi drones and missiles.
The rising hostilities underscore a dangerous intensification of Yemen’s conflict between the coalition-backed Yemeni government and the Iran-backed Huthis, despite a renewed US push to end the war.
