Follow-up: Houthis Say They Attacked Saudi East-West Oil Pumping Stations and Riyadh Airport on Monday; No Saudi Confirmation Yet
SANAA — The Iran-aligned Houthi group in Yemen said on Monday it had attacked Saudi Arabia's East-West crude oil pumping stations and Riyadh airport, but there was no immediate Saudi confirmation, Reuters reported.
The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen said earlier it had destroyed two ballistic missile launchers in the capital Sanaa, including one used to fire a missile towards Riyadh that the coalition said it had intercepted. Reuters noted that the Houthis have been firing ballistic missiles and drones at Saudi airports, ports and oil installations.
This is a follow-up: compared with GSM's October 25 report on the Houthis' seven attacks on Saudi targets on October 24, the new development on October 26 is the Houthis' newly claimed target, the East-West crude oil pumping stations; Saudi Arabia has not confirmed this claim.
