Houthis group claimed responsibility for a drone attack on a Saudi Aramco oil refinery in the southwestern city of Jizan, according to a report published by the Houthi-run Saba News Agency.

Citing a military source within the movement, the news outlet reported that Houthi forces launched two unmanned aerial vehicles targeting the energy infrastructure, claiming the strike hit its intended target.

The Houthi military source asserted that the operation was carried out in direct response to recent incursions into Yemeni airspace.

The group specifically cited alleged overflights and sovereign violations by Saudi aircraft above the northern provinces of Saada and Hajjah.

Neither Saudi Arabian government officials nor Saudi Aramco immediately issued public comments regarding the reported attack or any potential operational impact at the Jizan facility.
