[Houthi armed forces said they launched attacks on sensitive targets and facilities in Saudi Arabia] September 20th, Yemen's Houthi armed forces issued a statement on the 19th saying that they launched two military operations against "sensitive targets" in the Saudi capital Riyadh and Saudi Aramco's facilities in Yanbu that day, using a large number of ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones. The statement said the operation was in response to Saudi Arabia's continued air strikes and "accusations of Yemen's attack on Mecca." The statement said the first operation targeted "sensitive targets" in the Saudi capital Riyadh, and the second operation targeted Saudi Aramco's facilities in Yanbu. The statement said both operations were "successful" and resulted in large-scale fires in the target area. The statement also stated that Saudi Arabia had previously used F-15 and "Typhoon" fighter jets to launch air strikes from two bases in Khamis Mushait and Taif. So far, it has carried out 732 air strikes, causing civilian casualties and damage to civilian infrastructure. The statement stated that the Houthi armed forces in Yemen will continue to adopt the approach of "responding to blockade with blockade and escalation in response to escalation" and will continue to target Saudi Arabia's military buildup until they stop military operations against Yemen and lift the blockade on Yemen.
