Yahya Saree confirmed an attack on oil infrastructure near the city of Yanbu

DOHA, November 11. /TASS/. The Houthis of Yemen’s Ansar Allah rebel movement carried out strikes on the airport in the Saudi capital and on oil infrastructure near the city of Yanbu, Military Spokesman Yahya Saree said.

"Our armed forces (the Houthis - TASS) were able to attack King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh with three cruise missiles," the Al Masirah TV channel quoted the spokesman as saying. Saree added that the rebels also carried out a drone strike on Pumping Station No. 11 in the Yanbu area.

"The Saudi enemy’s claims about intercepting [a drone] in Mecca’s airspace are yet another lie," the movement’s spokesman added. He emphasized that the Houthis’ operations are directed exclusively against the kingdom’s oil facilities and military bases.

Earlier, Arab Coalition Spokesman Turki al-Maliki reported that Saudi air defenses had intercepted and destroyed three cruise missiles launched by the Houthis toward the kingdom’s capital.
