Houthis Claim Attack on Saudi Aramco Refinery in Jazan

On August 9, 2026, Yemen's Houthi rebels claimed they attacked a Saudi Aramco oil refinery in Jazan on Saudi Arabia's Red Sea coast. Saudi authorities confirmed a fire at the facility, which was extinguished, and reported no injuries. The Houthis, who are aligned with Iran, have carried out similar attacks in the past as part of the ongoing conflict in the region.

Separately, Houthi drone and missile attacks on Yemen's Red Sea port of Mocha killed seven people, according to reports. The attacks highlight the continued volatility along the Red Sea coast, where both Saudi Arabia and Yemen face security threats.
