Houthis claim strikes on Saudi Arabia's critical oil facilities demonstrate abilities
Recent Houthi strikes deep inside Saudi Arabia demonstrate that the kingdom's key oil facilities remain among the group's military targets, a military source in Sanaa told Lebanon's Al-Akhbar newspaper, which is affiliated with Hezbollah and the Iran-led axis.
The source said the latest attack on oil facilities in eastern Saudi Arabia was intended to send a clear message that Riyadh cannot protect its oil and gas infrastructure from Yemeni strikes, and that any military alliances it seeks with regional countries or the United States "and others like it" will not shield it from "Yemen's wrath."
The source also claimed that the weapons used in the attack on Saudi Arabia's oil transportation network in the Eastern Province, about 1,500 km from Yemen, can reach anywhere in the kingdom.
He warned that Saudi Arabia would be unable to "avoid painful attacks" unless it unconditionally accepted Sanaa's demands, which include lifting the air and naval blockade, paying salaries to civil servants in Houthi-controlled areas, providing compensation, withdrawing from Yemeni territory, dismantling Saudi-backed militias, and ending funding for what he described as "terrorist organizations."
