Yemeni Armed Forces Spokesperson, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, announced on Friday the targeting of the Aramco facility in the depths of Saudi Arabia, as an initial part of Operation Break Siege I.

Saree declared in a statement that in response to the Saudi escalation and siege of preventing the entry of oil into Yemen, the Aramco facility in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, was targeted with 9 drones.

In the details, Saree explained that Aramco's facilities in the Jizan and Abha regions and other sensitive sites were targeted by 6 Sammad-1 drones.

He stressed that the Yemeni Armed Forces are on high alert to carry out military operations in response to cutting oil off Yemen by the Saudi-led coalition.

He also affirmed that Yemen's Armed Forces are able to assume their responsibilities toward the Yemeni people and the country at this important stage until the Saudi aggression is ended and the siege is lifted.

Saree added that the Yemeni Army and Popular Committees pledge patience and determination that they will not hesitate to respond legitimately to the unjust siege.

Today, Friday, a drone attack targeted an oil refinery in the Saudi capital, which was caused by a small fire, in light of soaring crude prices. 

The attack took place in the early hours of Thursday morning.

"The Riyadh oil refinery was attacked by a drone, resulting in a small fire that has been brought under control," the Energy Ministry said, according to the official Saudi Press Agency.

"The attack did not result in any injury or death, nor was the supply of oil or its derivatives affected."
