Brigadier General Yahya Saree, spokesman for Yemen’s Armed Forces, said in a statement that a drone targeted the Aramco facility with high precision.
The statement said the drone struck the facility accurately.
According to the statement, the attack was carried out in response to “provocative actions by the Saudi regime,” which in recent days had violated the airspace over Yemen’s northern provinces of Saada and Hajjah with reconnaissance and surveillance drones.
The political bureau of Yemen’s Ansarullah movement said Friday that Yemen’s Armed Forces had carried out a preemptive military operation to thwart the hostile Saudi actions against Yemen.
