YAF Targets Saudi Aramco, Khamis Mushait Base with Ballistic Missiles, Drones

ALWAGHT- Brigadier General Yahya Saree said the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out strikes against Saudi Aramco facilities in Yanbu and the Khamis Mushait airbase, using ballistic missiles and drones.

The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) said they launched two operations against Saudi targets, striking Saudi Aramco facilities in Yanbu with ballistic missiles and drones and the Khamis Mushait airbase with ballistic missiles. The statement claimed both attacks directly hit their targets, causing fires and damage.

YAF spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree said Yemen would continue military operations against Saudi military positions and targets deep inside Saudi Arabia until Saudi attacks on Yemen stop and the blockade is lifted. He described the approach as “siege for siege” and “escalation for escalation.”

Earlier, the YAF said it had shot down a Saudi F-15 over Marib with a locally developed surface-to-air missile. Saree also said Yemeni forces confronted a Saudi formation of F-15 and Typhoon aircraft searching for the downed jet, forcing the aircraft to retreat from Yemeni airspace.
