Houthi Forces Claim Two Military Operations Against Saudi Arabia

On September 16 local time, the Houthi armed group issued a statement claiming that in response to the airstrike operations by Saudi Arabia this week, the Houthis carried out two military operations that day, targeting the Aramco oil company in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia, and the Khamees Mushait airbase.

The statement claimed that the Saudi side "launched over 450 airstrikes this week," with targets involving most provinces in Yemen. In response, the Houthis used dozens of ballistic missiles and drones to attack the Aramco oil company located in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia. The statement said the attack was "precise and directly hit the target," causing "massive fires and severe damage."

The statement also mentioned that the Houthis launched multiple ballistic missiles at the Khamees Mushait airbase in Saudi Arabia, claiming to have "precisely hit the target."

The statement indicated that the Houthis would continue to carry out military operations deep into Saudi territory while striking at Saudi military buildup forces, continuing the approach of "responding to a blockade with a blockade, and responding to escalation with escalation," until Saudi Arabia stops its military operations against Yemen and lifts the blockade on Yemen.
