An air defense battery run by Greek forces in Saudi Arabia stopped two ballistic missiles fired from Yemen on Saturday that aimed at oil facilities in Yanbu, according to Greek security officials speaking to Reuters.

Saudi Civil Defense sent out an urgent warning to people in Yanbu about possible threats.

One source noted the strike involved two ballistic missiles aimed at the Yanbu refineries and launched from Yemen.

A second official verified that the missiles were intercepted successfully.

Greece has kept a US-made Patriot battery with Greek operators in Saudi Arabia since 2021 via a pact to safeguard the country's energy sites. This marked the second occasion Greek staff handled the system in action.

Saudi-led coalition hits Houthi military locations

The development follows strikes by the Saudi-led coalition on Houthi military positions in Yemen's Hodeidah governorate on Friday, which the coalition said were used to endanger commercial shipping lanes.

Houthi-linked Al Masirah TV reported that Saudi strikes hit sites of the state telecommunications firm in Hodeidah city and also targeted Kamaran Island off the western coast.

Coalition spokesman Turki al-Malki stated on Saturday that Hodeidah port was not hit and that all Yemeni ports including Hodeidah, Ras Issa and Salif stayed open for maritime traffic and commercial vessels.

Houthi spokesman Mohammed Abdul Salam charged Saudi Arabia with maintaining a blockade on Yemen and claimed that despite talk of defending sovereignty, the kingdom was using tactics similar to those he attributed to Israel in its conflicts, as reported by Iran International on Saturday.

The Houthis further stated that Saudi Arabia had become an open adversary to Yemen.

No strikes or sirens were reported overnight in Bahrain, Jordan or Kuwait. These nations have faced Iranian retaliation for US actions and host American military bases.
