Said it intercepted a missile fired at Dharan near Saudi Aramco's headquarters and that fragments from the interception fell on a residential area.

Warned civilians to leave the target area in Yemen ahead of the largest Saudi attack so far on Houthi energy infrastructure.

Warned all employees and citizens near any Aramco-affiliated facility in Riyadh to evacuate and stay away, saying such sites are legitimate targets for Houthi forces.

Warns that Saudi Arabia is struggling to respond to the Houthis' improved arms technology, including lower-flying, smaller and cheaper drones that are harder to detect.

“Saudi Arabia is struggling to respond to the Houthi’s improved arms technology. Until relatively recently Houthi missiles and drones fell in desert areas or if they got through were intercepted. They have learned how to deploy drones that fly lower and are smaller, and are less easy to detect. They are cheap and it does not take many to get through to be effective”

Complained that the Houthis are behaving badly and suggested their attacks were an attempt to influence the US midterm elections, without announcing new military action.

“behaving very badly”

Declared a popular mobilisation in defence of the south and its national liberation project, including repelling the Houthis, and reaffirmed support for an eventual referendum on South Yemen's independence.
