The Houthis launched a ground attack on Aramco facilities and an air base in southern Saudi Arabia

In response to the Saudi airstrikes, Yemen's Houthis attacked one of Aramco's facilities in the Red Sea port city of Yanbu, as well as an air base in southern Saudi Arabia.

Yahya Sari, the military spokesman for the Houthis, informed the French news agency on Wednesday, September 16 (September 25), "Saudi Arabia carried out more than 450 airstrikes this week", and this group supported by Iran, in response to these attacks, targeted the Aramco facilities in Yanaba with dozens of ballistic missiles and drones.

It was also said that the Hamis Moshit air base was also targeted.

During Yemen's several-year civil war, the Houthis took control of large parts of the country, including Sana'a, the capital city. Saudi Arabia, on the other hand, is an ally of the official government of Yemen and is conducting military operations against these Shiite militias. Following the recent escalation of the conflicts, Saudi Arabia was exposed to Houthi attacks once more and more than before.
