DUBAI, Reuters, April 11, 2018 – Yemen’s armed Houthi movement said on Wednesday it launched a drone strike on a facility belonging to oil giant Saudi Aramco in southern Saudi Arabia, the group’s TV al-Masirah said.

There was no immediate Saudi comment on the report.

“The air force announced the execution of air strikes with the Qasif 1 aircraft on Aramco in Jizan (province),” the channel said on its official Twitter account, referring to a drone the Houthis had previously unveiled.

However, but Saudi Aramco said on Wednesday its facilities in the southwestern province of Jizan were operating “normally and safely” after Yemen’s Houthi movement said it launched a drone strike on a facility belonging to the Saudi state energy company.
