| Open-sources have reported that Yemen's Houthi movement launched multiple ballistic missile attacks targeting Saudi Aramco oil facilities in Jazan, Saudi Arabia on 25 July 2026 (exact time not specified). Regional media reported that at least five ballistic missiles were fired at the oil facilities in the first wave of attacks. Videos circulating on social media appeared to show a large fire and a mushroom-shaped plume of smoke rising over the area, although the footage has not been independently verified. A second wave of attacks reportedly followed shortly afterward, with alleged targets including the East-West Pipeline in Yanbu, Saudi Aramco installations in Jazan, and King Khalid Air Base in Khamis Mushait (exact positions and times not specified). The Houthi military spokesperson described the operation as retaliation for recent Saudi-led coalition airstrikes on Al Hudaydah province and Kamaran Island. The group stated the attacks were carried out under a strategy of "blockade for blockade" and "escalation for escalation." Saudi authorities had not immediately issued an official statement confirming the reported missile strikes or any damage to the targeted facilities at the time of reporting. Casualty information and environmental impact have not been reported. (Note: Position is approximate based on the city of Jazan, Saudi Arabia. Exact time of incident not specified in source material.) | |||||
