Riyadh. Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi militants fired missiles at Saudi oil installations on the Red Sea coast on Saturday, while Saudi-backed forces launched air strikes on Houthi positions, opening a second front in a conflict that is already disrupting global energy supplies.
Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said the group had targeted facilities belonging to Saudi state oil company Aramco in Jizan and Yanbu, claiming the attacks successfully hit their targets.
Video shared on social media and verified by Reuters showed a large column of smoke rising near the Aramco refinery in Jizan.
