Houthis Claim Shooting Down Saudi F-15 Over Yemen's Marib; Launch Missile and Drone Strikes on Saudi Aramco

The Houthis announced the downing of a Saudi F-15 over Marib, a city in Yemen’s northern region. The incident occurred amid ongoing hostilities between the group and Saudi Arabia. The same day, the Houthis claimed to have launched missile and drone strikes targeting Saudi Aramco facilities in Yanbu, a city on the Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia. The attacks marked another escalation in the conflict, with the Houthis using a combination of missiles and drones to strike Saudi infrastructure. The Saudi government has not confirmed the downing of the F-15 but has acknowledged the missile and drone strikes. The Houthis have not provided evidence for their claims, as is typical in such incidents. The event underscores the continued volatility in the region, with the Houthis and Saudi Arabia engaging in a cycle of retaliation. The international community has called for restraint, but the conflict shows no signs of de-escalation.
