Yemen’s Houthis claim attack on Saudi Arabia refinery

# Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis claim a drone attack on a Red Sea Coast refinery in Saudi Arabia. Attacks from the armed group have increased since the 2022 truce seems to have been broken last month. The group’s military spokesman, Yahya Saree, said the Houthis had succeeded in targeting the Aramco refinery in Jizan with a drone, and the strike was precise, adding the attack had been launched in response to Saudi drone incursions into northwest Yemen. Saudi Arabia’s energy ministry said the fire at the Jizan refinery was brought under control.
