Houthis claim drone strikes on Aramco sites in Jizan and, a day later, Najran

Jizan, Saudi Arabia

A Houthi military source told the Saba news agency the group hit an Aramco refinery in Saudi Arabia's Jizan region with two drones, in response to Saudi 'violation of Yemeni airspace' over Saada and Hajjah. The next day Saba said the Houthis also struck an Aramco facility in Najran. Saudi Arabia and Aramco did not confirm either strike.

Why it matters

The claims were part of a Houthi campaign against Saudi energy sites since the July embargo; no damage was confirmed.
