Houthis attack Saudi refinery on the Red Sea coast
The Houthi movement in Yemen has attacked a Saudi oil refinery with a drone, days after Saudi Arabia signed a defence pact with Pakistan and Turkey.
The Houthis in Yemen say they've carried out a drone attack on a Saudi refinery on the Red Sea coast. The Iranian-backed group's military spokesman said the strike on the Aramco refinery in Jazan was in response to Saudi incursions into north-west Yemen.
