Yahya Saree, the spokesperson for Yemen’s Houthi rebels, claims that the group has carried out seven “specialised military operations” against Saudi Arabia over the past 24 hours, targeting facilities including Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport and an Aramco facility in Yanbu.

In a statement posted on X, he says King Khalid Airport and Yanbu were targeted in “accurate” strikes, with the former targeted in two phases.

He adds that the Rabigh oil refinery was also targeted, along with a crude oil pumping station and the East-West oil pipeline. In both cases, the group “successfully achieved its objective”.

Najran Airport and King Fahd Airport in Dammam were also successfully targeted, Saree claims, adding that the group has also successfully hit an airbase in Khamis Mushait.

“Our operations will continue deep inside Saudi territory, enforcing the equation of blockade for blockade and escalation for escalation, and targeting the Saudi enemy’s troop concentrations until the aggression ceases and the blockade against our beloved country is lifted,” Saree adds.

Saudi Arabia has not immediately commented on Saree’s claims.
