Yemen/Saudi Arabia: Houthi drone and missile attacks fade amid supply issues


Issue 1091 - 31 Oct 2019 | 3 minute read

There have been no new drone strikes on Saudi territory from Yemen following the 14 September attack on oil facilities at Abqaiq and Khurais. The strike against the Saudi Aramco plants was initially claimed by Yemen’s Houthi rebels, before those claims were widely dismissed as implausible. It remains to be seen if the drone and missile campaign has come to a complete halt, but GSN sources indicate the Houthis are having difficulty in securing components for their drones from overseas.
