Drone strike damages Saudi Arabia’s largest oil hub – reports

Houthis have claimed they attacked “sensitive” oil infrastructure in retaliation for Riyadh’s strikes on Yemen

Saudi Arabia’s largest crude oil processing facility was damaged in a drone strike on Monday, according to open-source analysts reviewing satellite imagery and a Gulf official cited by the Wall Street Journal.

The images circulating online appear to show a large smoke plume rising from the Abqaiq complex, along with burn marks and apparent damage around parts of the facility.

Yemen’s Houthis claimed responsibility for what military spokesman Yahya Saree described on X as strikes on “targets and sensitive points in the supply and transport of crude oil from eastern Saudi Arabia to [the port of] Yanbu.”
