SANAA, Oct 27 — Yemen’s Houthis today said they targeted Saudi Arabia’s biggest oil refinery with a ballistic missile, following weeks of disruptive attacks against the world’s top crude exporter.
“The Yemeni Armed Forces were able to target the Ras Tanura refinery in the Eastern Province with a ballistic missile,” Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree posted on X, saying the strike caused “massive fires”.
A resident in the nearby city of Al Khobar told AFP he heard explosions around dawn and received a text message alert.
“We got the alert on the mobile and then heard a very loud bang,” the resident said.
