Houthis say drone attacks target several Saudi cities

Al Jazeera  

Saudi-led coalition later said it attacked 13 targets in Yemen during a military operation against the group. Yemen’s Houthi fighters said they fired 14 drones at several Saudi cities on Saturday, including at Saudi Aramco facilities in Jeddah, with the Saudi state news agency reporting that the Saudi-led coalition attacked 13 targets in Yemen during a military operation against the group. While there has been no comment from the Saudi-led coalition on the drone-attack claims, the Saudi Press Agency said the coalition’s operation in Yemen on Saturday hit weapons depots, air defence systems and drones’ communication systems in the capital Sanaa as well as Saada and Marib provinces. The Iran-backed Houthi group regularly announces rocket and drone attacks on Saudi territories, saying they are a reaction to the coalition’s assault on Yemen. “As such, the Saudi Arabians cannot be quiet when all these drone attacks continue to hit civilian and non-civilian infrastructure in Saudi Arabia, so these air strikes have done very little in the past to curtail the Houthi spread and I don’t think they’re going to do much to do so today.” Yemen has been beset by violence and chaos since 2014, when Houthis overran much of the country, including Sanaa.
