Houthi rebels said on the night of the 12th local time they carried out two strikes on Saudi oil infrastructure: a drone attack on pump station No.7 of the East–West pipeline and a ballistic-missile strike on Yanbu oil facilities, and said both hit their targets. The statement called Riyadh's claim that two missiles were intercepted over Mecca serious slander and denied firing any missiles or drones toward Mecca or Medina. Saudi authorities had no immediate comment.
