Yemen Puts Saudi Oil Facilities, Airspace on Notice After Airstrikes

 

Yemeni forces report strikes against military gatherings, weapons depots and Saudi-backed positions in Ma'rib, while warning that Saudi Aramco facilities and commercial aviation routes are within their striking reach.

SANA’A -- Ansarullah's military leadership declared on Sunday that Saudi Aramco facilities and Saudi airspace are within reach of its forces, while Sana’a-based military sources reported missile and drone operations against Saudi-backed forces in Ma’rib and along the Red Sea coast.

A military source told the Sana’a-based Yemen News Agency (Saba) that "Aramco facilities are within range of the Yemeni Armed Forces and that investing in them is a risky venture fraught with losses," warning international airlines against using Saudi airspace with the exception of the airspace over Mecca and Medina.

The statement, carried by Saba on November 1, did not announce a specific strike but served as a direct warning against Saudi energy infrastructure and commercial aviation.

 

Separately, Al Masirah TV reported that two Saudi air raids struck an oil facility in the Bajil district of Hudaydah governorate in western Yemen, wounding at least three civilians.

The report was carried by Middle East Eye on Sunday morning and corroborated by Chinese state broadcaster CCTV, which cited Ansarullah sources and placed the strike at midday local time.  

In Ma’rib, Ansarullah-led Yemeni forces struck a weapons depot belonging to Saudi-backed forces inside the Sahen camp in Marib province, and targeted gatherings of Saudi-backed militants with drones in the Masir area of Ma’rib. Missile strikes also hit Saudi-backed military gatherings in Marib.  

The Saba agency also reported that Saudi aircraft struck the Faculty of Medicine at Hudaydah University twice. Residents told AFP they heard loud explosions in the area.

The Sana’a-based Yemeni Armed Forces also released footage over the weekend of "qualitative operations" against Saudi troop positions and military trucks, using homegrown Rajoum strike-reconnaissance drones.

The footage was published by the media bureau of Yemen's Operations Command Center on Saturday afternoon, reporting on Sunday that the drones successfully achieved their objectives.  

Al Masirah said Yemeni drones attacked the Mas military camp in Ma’rib on Sunday night, where Saudi commanders and their allies had gathered, causing casualties. The report described the operation as a response to Saudi escalation, particularly in Hudaydah province.

The Sana’a-based Ministry of Health and Environment announced on Sunday that according to statistics up to October 30, Saudi-led attacks have resulted in a total of 768 deaths and injuries across Yemen.

Among the deceased were 232 civilians, including 68 children and 35 women; among the injured were 536 people, including 137 children and 72 women.

The ministry stated that this casualty figure demonstrates "systematic war crimes" against civilians and called on the international community and human rights organizations to take action to stop the attacks and hold those responsible accountable.

Military spokesman Yahya Saree stated Sunday that Saudi aircraft and missiles have carried out 66 air and missile strikes on Sana’a, Jawf, Ta’izz, Sa’ada, Hajjah, and Lahij in the past 24 hours, targeting civilian targets and causing casualties among women and children.

He stated that the total number of Saudi attacks since the escalation began has reached 3,755. He also noted that F-15 and Typhoon fighter jets took off from Khamis Mushait and Taif bases, while missile attacks were launched from Najran.
