What happened

A military source told the Houthi-run Saba news agency that Houthi forces had launched a drone attack targeting an Aramco facility in Najran, in southwestern Saudi Arabia near the Yemeni border. The Houthis described it as retaliation for what they called Saudi military aircraft violating Yemen's sovereignty by entering airspace over the northeastern part of Saada governorate. There was no immediate confirmation from Saudi authorities or Aramco, and it was not immediately clear from the Houthi-sourced report whether the facility was actually struck. This record reflects a single-sourced claim by a party to the conflict, not an independently verified attack, and should be read alongside the confirmed 9 and 13 August strikes already recorded against Aramco's Jizan refinery, the nearest independently corroborated Aramco target in the same border region.

When cited sources give different casualty, damage or spill figures for this event, they’re reported side by side above rather than merged into one number. See how confidence levels work.
