Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said on Wednesday that the group had targeted an oil facility and military base in Saudi Arabia using missiles and drones in retaliation for strikes carried out by Riyadh against neighboring Yemen.

He said the attack targeted a facility belonging to the Saudi oil giant Aramco in Yanbu, on the Red Sea, "causing fires and widespread destruction," and another targeted the Khamis Mushait military airbase.
