Yemeni military source: Aramco facilities within range, Saudi airspace unsafe

In a statement to the Saba news agency on Sunday, the source renewed the Armed Forces’ advisory to all international airlines against using Saudi airspace, with the sole exception of the skies over the holy cities of Makah and Medina.

The source stressed that Aramco installations remain legitimate targets and that continued investment exposes shareholders and related parties to substantial material losses as the Yemeni Armed Forces maintain their deterrence posture.

The warning comes amid intensified mutual military campaigns between the Yemeni Armed Forces and Saudi-backed forces. Ground clashes continue across several axes inside Yemen, particularly along the Taiz front, where Sana’a forces have reported sustained pressure on Saudi-backed mobilizations and advances in surrounding areas.

Over recent months, the forces have repeatedly targeted Saudi airports, Aramco sites, and related infrastructure in response to ongoing Saudi aggression, airstrikes on Yemeni territory, and the continued blockade of Sana’a International Airport.

The Yemeni Armed Forces have consistently applied the equation of “siege for siege” and “escalation for escalation,” while exempting the airspace of the Two Holy Mosques from any operations.

Previous operations have included precise missile and drone strikes on Aramco facilities in locations such as Dhahran, Riyadh, Yanbu, and other sites, as well as disruptions to Saudi airport operations.

Yemeni military statements have said these actions are legitimate self-defense aimed at compelling an end to the aggression and the lifting of the blockade on the Yemeni people.

The Yemeni Armed Forces have reiterated that they will continue targeting sources of aggression and Saudi military reinforcements until the aggression ceases and the siege on Yemen is fully lifted. International carriers, workers, and investors have been repeatedly advised to treat the warnings with utmost seriousness.
