Houthis sheegayaan weerar ku qaadeen xarun Aramco ee Riyaad, halka dagaalku sii kordhayo
Dagaalka u dhexeeya dowladda Sacuudiga iyo kooxda Houthis ee Yemen ayaa sii kordhay kadib markii kooxdaasi sheegtay inay weerar ku qaadeen xarun ka tirsan shirkadda Aramco ee caasimadda Sacuudiga Riyaad. Weerarka ayaa la sheegay inay ka dhaceen xalay, iyadoo maamulka Sacuudiga uu sheegay inuu fuliyay howlgallo culus oo ka dhanka ah ciidamada Houthis.
Sheegashada Houthis iyo xaaladda xarunta
Saraakiishka ciidamada Houthis ayaa sheegay inay weerar fuliyeen xarun ka tirsan shirkadda Aramco ee magaalada Riyaad, iyagoo isticmaalay roobka iyo diyaarado. Wasiirka ciidamada Houthis, Yahya Saree, wuxuu sheegay in weerarku ahaa mid 'sawir ah oo toos ah' oo keentay in dhaqdhaqaaqyo ka dhashaan meesha. Halkaas oo ay ku jiraan dhaqdhaqaaqyo iyo dhaqdhaqaaqyo kale, ma jiro war rasmi ah oo ka soo baxay dowladda Sacuudiga ama shirkadda Aramco oo xaqiijinaya sababta dhaqdhaqaaqyadaasi.
Wararka ayaa sheegaya in dhaqdhaqaaqyo iyo dhaqdhaqaaqyo kale ay ka dhaceen meel ka mid ah xarunta Aramco ee Riyaad xalay. Tani waxay timid xilli dagaalku uu sii kordhay kadib markii heshiisii 2022 uu burburay bishii July. Houthis ayaa horey u weeraray xarumo kale oo ka tirsan Aramco, gaar ahaan kuwa magaalada Yanbu, halka dowladda Sacuudiga ay sheegtay inay roobka ka hor istaagtay roobka la soo diray.
Howlgallada dowladda Sacuudiga iyo dagaalka
Maanta subax, dowladda Sacuudiga ayaa sheegtay in ciidamadeedu ay fuliyeen 97 howlgal oo 'toos ah' oo ka dhanka ah ciidamada Houthis ee ku sugan dhinaca Tor al-Baha iyo xuduudka Taiz. Howlgalladan ayaa lagu qaaday diyaarado, diyaarado, hubka, roobka iyo dagaalyahannada. Saraakiishka dowladda Yemen ee caalamiga ahi ayaa sheegay in howlgalladu ay ku dileen in ka badan 260 dagaalyahan Houthis, iyagoo sidoo kale burburiyay ama ka hor istaagay 44 gaari ciidan.
Dagaalka ayaa sii kordhay xilli Houthis ay horey u gacansatay magaalada Mocha iyo goobo muhiim ah oo ku yaal badda Bab al-Mandeb, halkaas oo ah meel muhiim u ah iibka shidaalka adduunka. Dowladda Sacuudiga ayaa sheegtay inay weerartay xarun kheyraadka ah ee magaalada Medina bishii hore, halka Houthis ay sheegeen inay weerareen xarumo kale oo ka tirsan Sacuudiga.
Yemen's Houthi rebels have stated they launched ballistic missiles and drones at an Aramco facility in the Saudi capital, Riyadh. Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree described the operation as precise, noting that fires broke out at the site, though Saudi authorities have not confirmed the attack or commented on the cause of the blaze.
Saudi Coalition Intensifies Ground Operations
In response to the escalating tensions, the Saudi-led coalition announced early on Sunday that its armed forces conducted 97 precise targeting operations against Houthi reinforcements. These strikes targeted positions on the Tor al-Baha front and the Taiz axis, utilizing warplanes, drones, artillery, missiles, and snipers.
Colonel Majed Abdullah al-Nazili, the spokesman for Yemen's internationally recognised government forces, reported that the coalition attacks targeted at least 260 Houthi fighters. He further stated that the operations resulted in the destruction or disabling of 44 military vehicles.
Background on Recent Escalations
This incident follows a series of attacks by the Houthis on Saudi infrastructure. Late last month, the group claimed to have struck Aramco facilities in Yanbu, a Red Sea port. Saudi Arabia reported intercepting six ballistic missiles fired towards Taif and Yanbu at that time, stating there was no damage to the sites.
Earlier this week, the Saudi-led coalition reported that the Houthis attacked a power station in the Muslim holy city of Medina on Tuesday. The fighting has intensified significantly since a fragile 2022 truce collapsed in July, following the Houthi seizure of the port city of Mocha and strategic islands in the Bab al-Mandeb strait in mid-September.
