On August 9, 2026, Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi rebels claimed attacks on a Saudi Aramco refinery in Jazan on the Red Sea coast and on Yemen's Red Sea port of Mocha. The attacks, involving drones and missiles, killed at least seven people in Mocha and caused a fire at the refinery, which Saudi authorities said was extinguished. The Houthis have been targeting Saudi oil infrastructure amid ongoing regional tensions.
