Houthis strike at Saudi Arabia's oil refining infrastructure

The Houthis launched another massive attack on Saudi Arabian oil refineries, striking with ballistic missiles and drones. This was reported by Al Masirah TV channel.

According to the official representative of the armed forces of the Ansar Allah (Houthis) group, Brigadier General Yahya Saria, eight ballistic missiles were involved in the attack, of which one Zulfikar and seven Badr missiles, as well as 10 Samad-3 drones "and four" Kasef-2 "(K-2). The attack was directed at the port in Ras Tanur and other "military" targets.

Rocket crews and air forces successfully carry out a major offensive operation using 14 unmanned aerial vehicles and eight ballistic missiles

- declared the general.

According to him, the Houthis carried out "an operation of containment and balance" in response to the "suffocating blockade of Yemen." The consequences of the strike are not reported, earlier in Riyadh it was reported about the interception of 12 drones and two ballistic missiles. The rest of the missiles, apparently, did not reach their targets, falling somewhere along the road.

In turn, the Arabian coalition launched a series of air strikes aimed at "the combat potential of the group in Sana'a and a number of provinces." Seven strikes, at least, were inflicted on the capital of Yemen, it was reported about one destroyed Houthi air defense crew. There is no information about casualties and destruction yet.

The rise in the price of gasoline and fuel in general in Russia follows a simple principle:
1. If oil is cheap, then the population must pay for the missing income of fat oil cats ... what comes to the budget is another question.
2. If oil is expensive, then the population should be happy that gasoline and diesel fuel are available at gas stations and pay meekly, otherwise everything will be exported.
There are no other options.
There are tools though. For example, the devaluation of the ruble and other miscellaneous things from the arsenal ... thimblers, sorry.

Recall that last Sunday the Houthi movement "Ansar Allah" took responsibility for the attack on the territory of Saudi Arabia. Eight ballistic missiles and 14 mined drones were fired. Brigadier General Yahya Saria, a spokesman for the Houthi military, said the strike was the sixth "containment operation" carried out. According to available information, the missile strike did not entail any casualties.

Yes about under the skirting board - it is loudly said, in fact, in the mountains and deserts of Yemen, there are two wars - one guerrilla, the other war of the KSA and the IRGC.

And yet, under the plinth. The coalition actually collapsed and the Hadists act practically only with the explicit support of the KSA and, not very publicly, the support of Israel, which liked one of the islands in the mouth of the Gulf of Aden, called Socotra. The IRGC does not participate in ground operations and acts indirectly through the Houthis.

It's scary to watch how successfully American air defense / missile defense systems cope with attacks. The S-300/400/500 simply have no chance in competition with them.

CAIRO, 7 March. / TASS /. The Ansar Allah (Houthis) insurgent movement attacked Saudi Arabia on Sunday with eight ballistic missiles and 14 mined drones. Brigadier General Yahya Saria, an official representative of the rebels' armed forces, said this, as reported by the Almasirah TV channel.

The attacks targeted the facilities of the Saudi oil company Saudi Aramco in the port of Ras Tanura, as well as other "military targets" in the Dammam region and Asir and Jizan provinces, he said. Saria also indicated that the shelling was the sixth "operation in a row."

“It was carried out within the framework of our natural and legal right to respond to the aggressor's escalation and its suffocating blockade [of Yemen],” he said. ....... No loss of life or property ”. One shot down If they buy 10 times more air defense systems, they will shoot down 10 times more.

[svp67]

According to the official representative of the armed forces of the Ansar Allah (Houthis) group, Brigadier General Yahya Saria, eight ballistic missiles were involved in the attack, of which one Zulfikar and seven Badr missiles, as well as 10 Samad-3 drones "and four" Kasef-2 "(K-2). The attack was directed at the port in Ras Tanur and other "military" targets.

And the blows are becoming more and more massive.

А также говорит, что обломки ракеты упали рядом с жилым комплексом Saudi Aramco в Дахране

[Gennady Fomkin]

Bloomberg writes that the current attack on Saudi Aramco was the most serious since September 2019, when the Houthis used drones and missiles to fire at the company's key oil refinery and two fields. Then this led to a decrease in oil production in the country for several days and a short-term rise in world oil prices by 20%.

In November 2020, the Houthis attacked Saudi Aramco's oil facilities in the city of Jeddah. Riyadh said the attack did not harm the company's customers - only one of 13 tanks was damaged, and the fire was quickly extinguished.

Since 2015, the Arab military coalition led by Saudi Arabia has been waging a confrontation with the Houthi postanites (the Ansar Allah group), who seized power in Yemen. The coalition is supported by the United States.

This is not news already, but with pictures: An alleged missile strike late in the evening on March 5 against an oil facility used by Turkish-backed militants in northern Syria set off a massive fire across a large area where fuel trucks are usually parked. This is evidenced by satellite images obtained last Sunday, the Associated Press reports. Militants of the so-called Syrian National Army (SNA), formed from various groups with the support of Ankara, and at least one military observer represented by the London-based non-governmental organization Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) attributed Russia to the strike near the cities of Jerablus and Al-Bab in the north of Aleppo province, near the border with Turkey. According to SOHR, Russian warships in the Mediterranean fired three missiles that hit primitive refineries and tank trucks north of the administrative center of the Syrian province.

More than 180 trucks and cisterns burned down in a massive fire, at least four people were killed and 24 were injured, according to a London observer. Reports of rockets fired from a Russian warship are rare and have not yet been independently confirmed. The Russian Defense Ministry did not comment on the strikes in the north of the Arab republic in any way.

Until Iran collapses, the Saudis will have large hemorrhoids. The Iranians cannot forgive the Saudis for their friendship with Israel, much less the execution of the Shiite preacher Nimr al-Nimr.
Shiites live compactly just along the borders of Arabia with Yemen, plus the main oil-bearing regions of Arabia, so the situation for Yemenis and Iranians is more than favorable, the potential for resistance is huge and renewable.
