Ansar Allah Claim Attack on Saudi Arabia’s Largest Oil Refinery

HeadlineOct 28, 2026

In Saudi Arabia, Ansar Allah, known as the Houthis, say they have hit the kingdom’s largest oil refinery with a ballistic missile. It comes as fighting has escalated in Yemen between the Saudi-backed government and the Iran-aligned Houthis since the outbreak of the U.S. war on Iran. Meanwhile, Drop Site News is reporting that the United Arab Emirates is now backing Ansar Allah in its conflict against Saudi-backed forces inside Yemen. This follows recent news that Egypt’s Parliament authorized Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi to help Saudi Arabia in its fight against Ansar Allah.
