Houthis say their drone attacks target several Saudi cities

Yemen's Houthi fighters said they fired 14 drones at several Saudi cities on Saturday, including at Saudi Aramco facilities in Jeddah, with the Saudi state news agency reporting that the Saudi-led coalition attacked 13 targets in Yemen during a military operation against the group. Yahya Saree, the Houthi military spokesman, said in a televised press conference on Saturday that the group had attacked Aramco's refineries in Jeddah as well as military targets in Riyadh, Jeddah, Abha, Jizan and Najran. Saree said the attacks were in response to the escalation of "aggression" by the Saudi-led Arab coalition "and the continuation of its crimes and siege" of Yemen. However, inaccuracies were reported in Saree's statement – it mentioned the wrong name for the international airport in Jeddah and the wrong location for King Khalid base, saying it was in Riyadh when it is actually in the south of the kingdom. While there has been no comment from the Saudi-led coalition on the drone-attack claims, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) said the coalition's operation in Yemen on Saturday hit weapons depots, air defence systems and drones' communication systems in the capital Sanaa as well as Saada and Marib provinces.
