Yemen's Houthi rebels claimed Sunday they struck an oil facility on Saudi Arabia's Red Sea coast, hours after the kingdom said it had put out a fire there.

The group's military spokesperson Yahya Saree said the Houthis had "succeeded in targeting the Aramco refinery in Jazan with a drone, and the strike was precise."

He added the attack on the facility operated by Saudi Arabia's state-owned oil firm was launched in response to incursions by drones from the Gulf monarchy into northwest Yemen.

A 2022 truce in Yemen's civil war, which Saudi Arabia entered more than a decade ago on the side of the internationally recognised government, appeared to collapse last month.

On Sunday, two military sources with the internationally recognized, Aden-based government said the Houthis attacked the city of Mokha on Yemen's Red Sea coast with missiles and drones.
