Yemen Missile Attack Saudi Aramco: Tension in the Middle East has once again reached a destructive point. Yemen’s Houthi rebels on Saturday, July 25, 2026, attacked the world’s largest oil company ‘Saudi Aramco’ And carried out a massive attack targeting major industrial cities of Saudi Arabia.
Missiles and explosive drones fired from Yemen have shaken important areas of Saudi Arabia like Jizan and Yanbu. After this attack, a situation of huge tension has arisen in the Gulf countries.
The explosions shook everyone’s life
Several explosions were heard one after the other in Saudi Arabia’s Jizan industrial city on Saturday morning. According to local sources, the Houthis directly targeted an important industrial unit and oil facilities belonging to Aramco in Jizan.
The impact of the attack was so widespread that power supply was disrupted in many areas and darkness prevailed. Saudi Civil Defense has deployed a ‘National Early Warning Platform’ in Yanbu province as a precaution. Emergency alert has been issued through.
Why did the Houthis attack?
This attack has come at a time when the informal peace that has been going on since 2022 between Saudi Arabia and Yemen’s Houthi faction seems to be breaking. Houthi rebels have described the attack as revenge for Saudi Arabia’s bombing of Hodeida city in Yemen late on Friday night.
The Houthis’ Foreign Ministry had already warned that Saudi Arabia would have to suffer heavy damages for these attacks. It is noteworthy that Saudi Arabia had targeted telecommunication facilities in Hodeida and Qamran Island, after which the Houthis retaliated.
Crisis on global oil market
This attack has raised concerns not only for regional security but also for the global economy. Tensions are already high along the Red Sea route, where the Houthis also recently targeted Saudi oil tankers. Under the blockade announced on July 20, the Houthis claimed they would continue to hurt Saudi Arabia’s economic interests. The attack on a huge oil company like Aramco has increased the fear of rise in oil prices in the international market.
