- Yemen's Houthis targeted Aramco oil facilities in Saudi Arabia along the Red Sea, the group announced on July 26, 2026, framing it as the latest escalation between the two sides.
- Saudi Arabia said it intercepted the missile and drone attacks aimed at the named Aramco sites, with Al Jazeera correspondent Yousef Mowry reporting from Sanaa.
Why it matters: Saudi authorities claim they intercepted every missile and drone aimed at the named Aramco sites, but the Houthis' confirmed ability to reach and publicly target Saudi energy infrastructure along the Red Sea marks the latest escalation in their ongoing conflict — keeping the Red Sea energy corridor firmly in the crosshairs.
