Yanbu Drone Attack Successful, Yemeni Army Says; Rejects Mecca Interception Claim

Successful Drone Attack on Yanbu; Yemeni Army Spokesman Rejects Mecca Claims

Shiite News: The Yemeni army spokesman has announced that the Yemeni armed forces carried out a Yanbu drone attack on oil pumping station No. 11 in Saudi Arabia’s Yanbu area and achieved the intended targets. According to the spokesman, the operation was successfully completed against the oil pressure booster station.

The Yemeni army spokesman rejected the Saudi regime’s claim that a drone was intercepted in the airspace of Makkah al-Mukarramah, calling it a baseless accusation and “a new lie by Riyadh.” He clarified that Yemeni military operations target Saudi oil installations and military bases, not Makkah, and that Yemen is committed to protecting Islamic holy sites.

On the other hand, the Yemeni Ministry of Health in Sanaa has announced that 359 people have been martyred and 780 wounded in Saudi attacks since the start of the recent escalation.
