The Yemeni group says they launched dozens of cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and
Yemeni-made drones targeting oil facilities in both Yanbur and in Jeyzan.
Now, local authorities in Saudi Arabia say these attacks that came from Yemen were all
successfully intercepted by the Saudi air defense system.
The Yemeni group, however, says their military operation was a success and that all intended
targets were successfully hit.
The latest flare in developments comes just one day after Saudi Arabia launched a military
operation that targeted what it says are Houthi positions in the province of Qaida and also
in the island of Qamaran.
The island of Qamaran is considered to be Yemen's biggest island.
It is actually very close to Bab al-Mandab where the ships are being targeted and where
the ships are being turned away from by the Ansarullah Yemeni group.
Now, both the U.N. envoy to Yemen and Omani officials have called on both parties to
resume negotiations.
U.N. officials, Saudi officials, and even some Ansarullah officials are said to be in
Oman for what could be a potential round two of negotiations, but until then, I think many
people are expecting that there will be more strikes and more attacks from both sides.
