Houthis in Yemen have vowed to continue attacks on Saudi airports and oil facilities following a strike that damaged the headquarters of Saudi oil giant Aramco in Dhahran. The attack, which targeted senior executives, marks the latest escalation in the ongoing conflict between Yemen’s Iran-backed rebels and the Saudi-led coalition.
Regional officials confirmed that the Houthi strike hit Aramco’s executive offices overnight, demonstrating the rebels’ capability to strike high-profile targets. The attack comes amid heightened tensions, with both sides exchanging fire in recent days. Houthis have warned of further strikes on Saudi infrastructure, including airports and oil sites, in the coming days.
The conflict, which began in 2015, has seen repeated clashes between the Houthis and Saudi forces. The rebels, backed by Iran, have launched numerous attacks on Saudi oil installations and military sites, while the coalition has conducted air strikes in Yemen. The latest strike on Aramco underscores the ongoing threat to Saudi energy infrastructure and the volatility of the region. The situation remains tense, with both sides continuing to exchange attacks.
