Yemeni armed forces report missile and drone attack on Riyadh airport and Saudi oil pipeline

Yahya Saree, spokesman for the Yemeni armed forces, announced that King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh was targeted with three cruise missiles.

According to him, Yemeni forces continued to use drones to target pumping station number 11 of the Saudi East-West oil pipeline in the Yanbu region, and the attack hit the intended target.

Sareeh has rejected the claim of Saudi officials about intercepting a drone in the sky of Mecca, calling it baseless; he emphasized that the operation of Yemeni forces is targeting oil facilities and military bases.

The spokesman for the Yemeni armed forces said in a separate statement that the gathering of Saudi forces at the Badr al-Harbi command in the Kharaz and Ras al-Adha camps was also targeted with several ballistic missiles, resulting in the killing and wounding of a number of opposing forces.

Based on this report, Yemeni forces have previously targeted pumping stations on the east-west Saudi oil pipeline several times, a route that is of strategic importance for the country’s oil exports.
