Fires broke out at energy facilities in southern Saudi Arabia following the attacks, and some operations were temporarily suspended. Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Energy issued a statement on the situation in the affected areas.
The ministry announced that specialist teams had begun working to bring the fires under control and ensure the security of the facilities.
Saudi authorities said Yemen’s Houthis targeted civilian and economic facilities in the cities of Abha, Khamis Mushait, Jizan and Najran. According to the statement, at least 73 civilians, including women and children, were injured in the attacks.
The Saudi-led coalition described the attacks as “a dangerous escalation.” The coalition announced that the necessary operational measures would be taken to neutralize the sources of the threat.
