Yemeni Houthis claim they targeted Aramco in Saudi Arabia's Najran with drone

Published Updated

Yemen’s Houthis claim they targeted an Aramco facility in the Saudi city of Najran with a drone, Reuters reports citing the group’s SABA news agency, which cited a military source.

The source says the attack was in response to what it described as Saudi military aircraft violating Yemen’s sovereignty by entering airspace over the northeastern part of Saada governorate.

There has been no immediate confirmation from Saudi authorities or Aramco. It is not immediately clear from the report whether the facility was hit.
