Houthi forces in Yemen claimed responsibility for an attack on a Saudi Aramco oil facility in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and a port in Yemen. Saudi Aramco reported a fire at its oil products distribution station in Jeddah on November 21, 2023, which emergency teams extinguished. The company stated the incident resulted in no casualties or damage to the facility's fuel supplies.
The claimed strikes followed Saudi Arabia's signing of a defense pact. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea stated the group launched missiles and drones at various targets, including the Aramco facility. Sarea also mentioned an attack on the Yemeni port of Al-Dhabba.
The alleged attacks mark an escalation in actions by the Houthi movement. Previous Houthi operations have targeted Saudi infrastructure, particularly oil facilities.
