DOHA, July 27. /TASS/. The Houthis from the Yemeni rebel movement Ansar Allah say they have struck oil transportation facilities in Saudi Arabia.

"A strike was delivered on a range of sensitive targets and oil transportation and supply facilities in the [port] of Yanbu in Saudi Arabia with the use of several drones," Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree wrote on his Telegram channel.

According to Saria, the attack came as a response to the alleged "violation of Yemen’s air borders by Saudi drones."

The Saudi defense ministry said earlier that its air defense systems had intercepted several drones launch from Iraq. According to the Saudi military, the drones attempted to attack oil facilities in the Ash-Sharqiyah province and in Riyadh.
