The Houthis are on the offensive, not only inside Yemen but also with waves of attacks against energy facilities inside Saudi Arabia. Al Mayadeen cites NASA satellite data indicating large fires at oil, military, and power facilities in Jazan, Abha, and Khamis Mushait, due toHouthi drone attacks. According to data compiled by Egypt’s Intel Observer, the operations appear to have affected several strategic facilities, including Aramco’s Jazan oil refinery and the Jazan Bulk Plant, where multiple hotspots were detected. Another hotspot was also identified near King Abdullah Airport in Jazan. Additional hotspots reportedly appeared around oil and gas storage facilities at the Asir Central Power Plant in Abha. The facility supplies baseload electricity to the southern region of Saudi Arabia.
King Khalid Air Base in Khamis Mushait also appears to have been targeted, with a fire hotspot detected at the site.
The Saudi Ministry of Energy announced that a number of energy facilities and infrastructure in the southern region of the Kingdom were targeted this morning. The Ministry said the attacks caused fires to break out at several sites, resulting in the temporary suspension of some operations.
