The ambassador of Arjan, who is under the control of the rebels, quoted the statement of the rebels and reported that the Yemeni Ansarullah rebel movement, the Houthis, targeted the facilities belonging to the Saudi Arabian state oil company Aramco and the King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh.

"The Yemeni armed forces [as the Houthis - TASS] carried out military operations targeting Saudi Aramco facilities in Dhahran and Eastern Province, King Khalid International Airport and a Saudi Aramco oil refinery in Riyadh," the statement said.
