[Houthi Claims Two Military Operations Against Saudi Arabia] On September 16, local time, the Houthi rebels issued a statement claiming that they had launched two military operations that day in response to Saudi Arabia's airstrikes this week, targeting Saudi Aramco's oil company in Yanbu and the Khamis Mushait airbase. The statement said that Saudi Arabia had launched "more than 450 airstrikes this week," targeting most provinces in Yemen. In response, the Houthis used dozens of ballistic missiles and drones to attack Saudi Aramco's oil company in Yanbu. The statement claimed the attack was "precise and directly hit its targets," causing "large-scale fires and serious damage." The statement also claimed that the Houthis used multiple ballistic missiles to attack the Khamis Mushait airbase, claiming it "precisely hit its targets." The statement indicated that the Houthis will continue their military operations deep into Saudi territory, while simultaneously striking Saudi military buildup, continuing their "blockade-to-blockade, escalation-to-escalation" approach until Saudi Arabia ceases its military operations against Yemen and lifts the blockade.
