Houthis say they targeted Saudi east-west oil transport

July 27 (Reuters) - Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis said on Monday they targeted a number of sensitive crude oil supply and transport sites linking eastern Saudi Arabia to the critical Red Sea oil export hub of Yanbu.

Saudi state oil giant Aramco did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said the operation was in response to what he described as Saudi drone incursions into Yemeni airspace.
