Eleven were reported killed by the attack on Mocha, including eight soldiers and three civiliansYemen’s Ansar Allah, also known as the Houthis, launched attacks on Sunday targeting both an oil refinery inside Saudi Arabia and Saudi-backed forces in the Yemeni port city of Mocha.
Ansar Allah military spokesman Yahya Saree said early Sunday that a Saudi Aramco facility in Jizan, a Red Sea port city in southern Saudi Arabia, was targeted with a drone, an attack he said was a response to Saudi drones flying in northern Yemeni provinces.
Local officials reported a fire at the facility and said it was extinguished with no casualties.
A medical source in Mocha told AFP that the strike killed 11 people, including eight soldiers and three civilians.
The strikes on Mocha came a few days after Ansar Allah launched attacks in central Yemen targeting the Emergency Forces, a military unit recently created by Saudi Arabia that operates under the control of the Saudi military.
