SANA’A (Dispatches) – The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) announced several military operations on Monday, including the destruction of weapons shipments coming in from Saudi Arabia, as reports and satellite images revealed new attacks by Sana’a on Aramco energy infrastructure. 
“Arms trucks coming from Saudi Arabia were targeted and caught fire at the Al-Wadiah military camp,” according to a YAF statement.
Footage of the operation was released. It shows Saudi military equipment – en route to Riyadh’s proxies in Yemen – being struck and blown up by Yemeni forces. The footage was captured by YAF drones.
The YAF also said earlier that it “succeeded in shooting down a Saudi enemy Wing Loong II armed reconnaissance aircraft while it was carrying out hostile missions over Al-Bayda Governorate this morning.”
“The aircraft was targeted with an appropriate weapon. This is the third aircraft to have been shot down in the past 24 hours,” it added. Earlier on Monday, the YAF had said it shot down a Saudi CH-4-armed reconnaissance drone.
According to the Financial Times (FT), Saudi Aramco’s oil facilities in Jizan, southwest Saudi Arabia, were struck by Yemeni forces, though the extent of the damage remains unclear.
NASA FIRMS satellite imagery revealed multiple thermal hotspots at the Aramco oil refinery in Jizan. 
Meanwhile, clashes continued in Ta’izz and Hudaydah between YAF-led forces and Saudi-backed mercenaries belonging to the Riyadh-backed fugitive regime based in Aden. 
Statements and videos released by the YAF indicated heavy damage inflicted on Saudi-backed forces. 
The YAF released footage of multiple attacks targeting Saudi-backed mercenary groups and forces loyal to the Aden-based Presidential Leadership Council (PLC). 
Images and videos released by the YAF show massive blasts following Yemeni strikes targeting Saudi-backed troops.
One of the videos showed the use of a ballistic missile targeting a gathering of troops and vehicles. Multiple Saudi oil tankers have been targeted in recent days as well.
Shipping data compiled by Bloomberg, Kpler, and Vortexa shows that the kingdom’s oil exports have sunk to their lowest levels in nearly a decade due to Yemeni operations and the U.S. war on Iran, which are disrupting Saudi shipping across the Red Sea and the Strait of Hormuz.
The Al-Masirah TV channel also reported Saudi Arabia carrying out airstrikes and cruise missile attacks across several provinces, including Al-Jawf, Al-Bayda, Marib, and Ta’izz. 
The drone downings came amid some of the heaviest ground fighting in Yemen in recent years. Saudi mercenaries launched a new offensive in Al-Jawf, advancing toward Al-Labanat military base, according to a mercenary who spoke with Xinhua. 
In western Yemen, Ansarullah-led Yemeni forces pressed an offensive to sever key roads linking Ta’izz with the Red Sea port of Mocha, aiming to advance toward the strategic Bab al-Mandab Strait.
Since Thursday, fierce battles between Ansarullah-led Yemeni forces and Saudi mercenaries have killed at least 140 fighters, according to sources from both sides cited by AFP. 
The fighting erupted after Saudi warplanes bombed Sana’a Airport, when Iran sent a plane carrying a delegation to the Yemeni capital. 
Following the airport attack, Ansarullah announced a “siege for siege” policy and declared a naval blockade targeting Saudi maritime traffic passing through the Bab al-Mandeb Strait.
In the weeks that followed, Yemeni forces began targeting Saudi vessels and territory, including a refinery.
