Houthis say they attacked Aramco facility in Yanbu, vow more strikes

Saudi Arabia had been pursuing a two-week truce with the Houthis through Omani mediation before the claim.

Yemen's Houthi movement said it attacked an Aramco facility in Yanbu and would keep targeting Saudi military buildups until what it calls a blockade ends. There has been no independent confirmation of damage or casualties.

The claim comes as Saudi Arabia has been seeking a two-week truce with the Houthis through Omani mediation. President Trump has said the United States is talking to the Houthis, who he says want a deal, and Iran's top security official has said Tehran wants the Saudi-Yemen war to end.

The reiteration follows a string of recent attacks. Sirens sounded in Jeddah on Thursday as a projectile was reportedly fired at the city, halting flights, days after a Houthi drone attack killed one person in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has moved to restore about half of its east-west pipeline capacity, with full restoration expected in six weeks, after cancelling all October crude shipments to European refiners. Saudi exports through the Bab el-Mandeb strait have run at under a third of this year's seven-day average since early August.

The renewed threat undercuts diplomatic momentum built over recent weeks, when talks in Oman, Saudi Arabia's truce push and statements from Iran, China and the US all pointed toward de-escalation. The Houthis are signaling they will keep pressure on Saudi energy infrastructure until their demands are met, making a negotiated settlement less certain and keeping supply disruption risk elevated for oil markets already pricing in pipeline repairs.
