The Associated Press, citing its sources, reports that Iran-backed groups - Yemen's Houthis and Iraqi militias - can receive intelligence from Russian satellites to attack Saudi Arabia's oil and military infrastructure. AP cites an analysis by the private company Aurora Geosignal Intelligence. According to the company, 40 missile and UAV attacks were analyzed from July 1 to October 19. The analysis found a "100 percent correlation" between the activity of the Russian government and military satellites and these attacks. It is claimed that the devices, including the Cosmos-2600 series satellites, focused on the targets several days before and after the attacks. Examples of this include the attacks on three pumping stations of the East-West Oil Pipeline on September 10, as well as the attack on the King Fahd Air Base, which resulted in damage to an Italian fighter jet, while a Saudi plane remained undamaged. In both cases, Aurora tracked a 50% increase in the number of destroyed satellites in orbit over the targets in the 72 hours before and after the strikes compared to July. According to AP, Iranian advisers on the ground analyzed the information received and passed it on to their allies. Saudi Arabia's deputy foreign minister for public diplomacy, Reid Karimli, said that Iran and the Houthis receive intelligence from "factors in Russia and China, sometimes even commercial ones." Russian officials had no immediate comment, according to the publication. At the same time, AP notes that the company's findings do not prove the actual Russian transmission of intelligence data, but document a correlation between satellite flights and attacks. informer.
