Insurgent military spokesman Yahya Sarea stated that the operations included direct hits on strategic facilities and troop concentrations. According to the rebels, this offensive is a response to previous bombings by the Riyadh-led coalition in Yemeni territory.
For its part, the Saudi Ministry of Energy confirmed an attempted attack against an Aramco administrative building in Riyadh, noting that the damage was minor and no fatalities were reported. The military coalition also reported the interception and downing of several ballistic missiles.
