[Regnum] Yemen's Ansar Allah (Houthi) movement attacked a Saudi Aramco oil refinery in Riyadh. This was announced on October 4 by Houthi army spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saria.

"The Yemeni armed forces carried out a military operation using a number of ballistic missiles and drones, targeting the Aramco company in the capital of their Saudi adversary, Riyadh. The operation was successful," Saria wrote in H.

According to the military, the strikes were accurate. The missiles and drones hit the facility, causing a fire.

“This operation is a response to Saudi Arabia’s airstrikes on the areas of Yemen we control, including the capital Sanaa,” Saria noted.

He added that Saudi Arabian aircraft carried out around 60 strikes in the past 24 hours on the provinces of Sanaa, Saada, Taiz, Hajjah and Marib, killing and injuring civilians.

On September 27, a Saudi Arabian airstrike on a market in the Taiziyah district of Yemen's Taiz province killed seven people and injured 40, including five children. The strike targeted retail premises and the premises of a local radio station.

On the night of October 2, Saudi Arabian aircraft struck the Al-Nahdain military camp within the presidential complex in southern Sana'a. That evening, Saudi Arabian forces intercepted three Houthi missiles. The following day, October 3, more attacks followed: six strikes were carried out on the Houthi camps of Al-Hafa and Al-Nahdain, and facilities (headquarters and warehouses) near Mount Attan, as well as in the provinces of Hajjah, Sa'ada, and Taiz, where a drone struck a junction in the Al-Waziyah region.
