What happened, for context

On September 8, 2026, Yemen's Houthi rebel group launched a coordinated attack on Saudi Arabian energy facilities and military targets in southern cities including Abha, Khamis Mushait, Jazan, and Najran, using drones and ballistic missiles. The attacks wounded 73 people and caused fires at several oil facilities, temporarily halting operations. The attack came hours after the Houthis alleged Saudi airstrikes on a Yemeni prison in Jawf province.
