Yemen’s Houthi rebels have claimed an attack on an oil pumping station in Saudi Arabia’s Yanbu area.

The group’s spokesperson, Yahya Saree, says the facility was attacked by drones and the “operation achieved its objective”.

In his statement, he also denies claims by Saudi Arabia that the group attacked the Makkah region, writing, “The Saudi enemy’s claim that a drone was intercepted over Makkah is yet another fabrication and a continuation of its moral decline. No one in this world still believes these slanders and lies.”
