Houthis claim new attacks on Saudi oil sites, including Yanbu and an Aramco building in Riyadh

The Houthis said on Thursday they attacked an oil facility at Yanbu on the Red Sea and a pumping station on Saudi Arabia's East-West oil pipeline, Iran International reports. There was no immediate Saudi confirmation.

Khaleej Times logs a further Houthi claim of an attack on an Aramco building in Riyadh. It also reports a statement from the Saudi-led coalition that it intercepted and destroyed a Houthi drone over Riyadh.

Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree said the group attacked Sharurah Airport and Khamis Mushait airbase, according to The New Arab.

The new claims follow Wednesday's reported Houthi attack on a Saudi oil pumping station and the group's claimed strike on Riyadh airport. No damage from any of Thursday's claimed attacks has been confirmed.

Khaleej Times says the Houthis have repeatedly denied Saudi accusations that they target Mecca and Medina. The Houthi claims have not been independently checked.
