War Iran, Houthis: drone against Abha airport in Saudi Arabia. LIVE

"America has not brought security to any country in the region, and Washington's failure to provide security guarantees has become evident." This was stated by the secretary of national security of the Islamic Republic Mohsen Rezaei, in a message on X. Meanwhile, the Houthis announced that they had hit the Ras Tanura refinery, in eastern Saudi Arabia, with a ballistic missile.

The Houthis blocked an offensive by Saudi coalition forces towards Bab el-Mandeb. Military spokesperson Yayha Saree announced it on X. “Our armed forces, thank God, repelled an attempted advance conducted by groupings affiliated with the Saudi enemy, supervised by Saudi officer Badr al-Harbi, commander of the forward operating base in Aden, coming from the southern direction of Bab al-Mandab,” he wrote. "These groups were hit with a number of ballistic missiles and heavy weapons, which led to a high number of deaths and injuries," he assured. Not only that. "Our armed forces managed, with God's help, to hit two military transport planes with two ballistic missiles: the first at Najran airport and the second at King Khalid Air Base in Khamis Mushait. The two operations successfully achieved their objectives," he explained.
