Yemen's Houthi group fired missiles and drones at Saudi energy and water desalination facilities, causing a temporary drop in output at a refinery but no casualties, the Saudi energy ministry and state media said Sunday.
Drone strikes hit a petroleum products distribution terminal in the southern Jizan region, a natural gas plant and the Yasref refinery in the Red Sea port of Yanbu, the ministry said. "The assault on Yasref facilities has led to a temporary reduction in the refinery's production, which will be compensated for from the inventory," it said.
