Why It Matters
Conflicts have intensified in Yemen since July and areas of control in the field have changed. The Houthis increased their operational capacity by seizing strategic points on the Red Sea coast.
Houthi Military Spokesperson Yahya Seri, in his statement on his social media platform, claimed that Saudi Arabia carried out more than 450 air strikes in Yemen.
'ARAMCO FACILITY WAS ATTACKED'
Seri said that they attacked the national oil company Aramco facility in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia, with many ballistic missiles and UAVs.
Claiming that the facility received a direct hit, Seri also stated that Khamis Mushayt Air Base was also targeted with a series of ballistic missiles.
Seri stated that they will continue their attacks against the interior of Saudi Arabia and that they will respond with "siege against siege, attack against attack".
On the other hand, no statement was made from Saudi Arabia regarding the Houthi attack claim.
In his statement in the morning, the Houthis' Military Spokesperson claimed that they shot down a Saudi Arabian F-15 warplane.
CONFLICTS IN YEMEN
The conflicts that have escalated again in Yemen since July have noticeably changed the control map in the field. After gaining control over the entire Hudaydah province, the Houthis advanced towards the west of Taiz and captured cities on the Red Sea coast such as Muha and the lines providing access to Babulmandeb.
The Houthis' capture of the city of Muha in Taiz on the Red Sea coast, as well as Hanish Archipelago, Meyyun Island and Zubab around the Babulmandeb Strait, caused a significant change in the conflict area.
