Yanbu

Yemen's Houthis claimed to have attacked a Saudi oil tanker with missiles off the coast of Yanbu, a port city on Saudi Arabia's Red Sea coast. The group's military spokesperson did not specify when the attack occurred.

Saudi Aramco closed its Jazan refinery after a Houthi attack damaged the facility, disrupting operations at a 400,000-barrel-per-day refinery. The attack damaged the refinery’s gasification complex and storage area, with repairs expected to resume operations by August 15. A Houthi spokesperson confirmed strikes on Jazan and Yanbu facilities, escalating regional tensions.

Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis claimed targeting Saudi oil transport sites connecting eastern Saudi Arabia to the Red Sea hub of Yanbu. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree cited Saudi drone incursions into Yemeni airspace as the reason. Saudi state oil company Aramco did not immediately comment.

The U.S. decided against striking Iran, while Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis attacked Saudi Aramco facilities in Jizan and Yanbu, Saudi Arabia, causing a smoke plume in Jizan.

The US has paused nightly strikes on Iran, raising questions about President Trump’s strategy amid intensified clashes between Houthi rebels and Saudi Arabia. Houthi rebels claimed they attacked Saudi Aramco facilities in Jizan and Yanbu, but Saudi authorities have not confirmed the attacks.

Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi militants attacked Saudi oil installations in Jizan and Yanbu on the Red Sea coast. Saudi-backed forces retaliated with bombings against the Houthis as the Gulf conflict escalated.

The Houthis claimed attacks on two Aramco oil facilities in Saudi Arabia's Jizan and Yanbu, citing retaliation for airstrikes on Hodeidah port and Kamaran Island. They vowed to maintain a blockade on Saudi-linked shipping through the Bab el-Mandeb strait in response to a Saudi blockade on Yemen and an attack on Sanaa's international airport. Saudi airstrikes reportedly killed Houthi members, including missile-launch experts, in Marib and al-Jawf provinces.

Saudi Arabia's air defenses intercepted two ballistic missiles launched from Yemen, targeting oil refineries in Yanbu. The Greek-operated air defense system downed the missiles, and Saudi authorities issued warnings to residents in Jizan and Yanbu following Yemen's Houthi group's threat to retaliate.

A Hong Kong-flagged supertanker bound for Saudi Arabia's Red Sea port of Yanbu performed a U-turn before reaching the Bab el-Mandeb chokepoint. The decision followed recent attacks by the Houthis, who are enforcing a blockade targeting ships linked to Saudi Arabia.

Yemen's Houthis claimed a missile attack on Saudi Arabia's Jizan city via their Telegram media. Saudi Arabia issued alerts to Jizan and Yanbu residents, while the Houthi Foreign Ministry accused Saudi Arabia of attacking Hodeidah's Telecommunications Corporation facilities, vowing retaliation.

Saudi Arabia's civil defense issued early warnings for potential danger in Al-Kharj and Yanbu, later stating the danger had passed. Iran targeted an American military base in Saudi Arabia with a ballistic missile, marking the first such attack in four months, according to a US official.

Saudi Arabia continues oil exports from its Red Sea port of Yanbu, maintaining operations despite potential regional tensions. The report cites Copernicus/ESA as the source, highlighting satellite imagery tracking the port's activity.
