Yahya Saria, a spokesman for the Yemeni rebels of the Ansar Allah (Houthis) movement, reported on Twitter about the missile attack on the distribution station of the oil and gas state company Saudi Aramco in the Saudi city of Jeddah.
“The missile force was able to hit the Aramco distribution station in Jeddah with a Quds 2 cruise missile,” a Houthi military spokesman said in a statement.
Yahya Sariya added that the attack “was very accurate”, ambulances and firefighters arrived at the scene. The Houthis have advised foreign companies and citizens who operate in Saudi Arabia to stay away from vital facilities as such operations continue.
The Yemeni conflict has been in an active phase since 2014. The Houthi rebels are believed to be supported by Iran and Hezbollah. Against them – the army of Yemen and the coalition of Arab countries, led by Saudi Arabia.
